Why Upgrade to a Bachelor's Degree?

Having a hotel and/or restaurant management diploma is an excellent first step towards professional fulfillment, but to reach upper-level leadership roles or pursue a master's program, a bachelor's degree is often required. We recommend that students complete their bachelor's degree when they have the opportunity, so they can access greater opportunities in their future academic and professional lives.

You will apply the knowledge and skills you have gained to become a business strategist and consultant.

  • An Individual Bachelor Thesis
    Your task will be to find a solution to an industry-specific problem using qualitative and/or quantitative research methods. You will be supervised by an experienced faculty member, who will coach you in the methods needed to succeed.

You will also know how to think critically and apply knowledge in the hospitality industry by gathering and interpreting relevant data, to make informed decisions.

In the area of soft skills, you will learn to be an effective communicator, leader, and autonomous professional using all of your experience, senses and service culture to interact with confidence, enthusiasm, and creativity in a professional environment.
