International Hospitality Management (Foundation Entry)
Study International Hospitality Management Foundation Entry alongside staff who are recognised internationally. Gain a broad understanding of tourism, hospitality and event management.
Foundation Entry degree courses are ideal if you’ve got the ability to study for a degree, but don’t have the necessary formal qualifications to directly join an Honours programme. It’s entirely unique, and a great stepping stone to degree study.
At the early stages of the course, you’ll explore the hospitality industry and its development from an international perspective, human resource skills and customer services. You’ll develop skills in food and beverage operations.
You’ll move on to study marketing issues, talent management, applied research and service quality. Your final year will focus on the analytical study of the global hospitality industry and why there’s a need for strategic management.
This course is being reapproved under the University’s normal cycle of review. As such, the course structure and content may be changed to enable the University to deliver a better quality of educational experience to students.

Module Overview
Course Delivery
Following the pandemic, we have found that some courses benefit from a blended learning and teaching approach. Therefore, the majority of your teaching will be face-to-face on campus aside from a small amount of online teaching where we have learnt it works best.
Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of our published course information. However, our programmes are subject to ongoing review and development. Changing circumstances may cause alteration to, or the cancellation of, courses. Changes may be necessary to comply with the requirements of accrediting bodies or revisions to subject benchmarks statements. As well as to keep courses updated and contemporary, or as a result of student feedback. We reserve the right to make variations if we consider such action to be necessary or in the best interests of students.
