The art, and science, of shaping your future
Academic excellence
Great careers are built on a foundation of soft skills and hard knowledge. That’s why a comprehensive academic education remains the bedrock of all our programs.
We’ll teach you how business works. How money is made and spent. How you can make a difference through marketing, innovation, entrepreneurship and applying cutting-edge technologies. Our intensive, immersive teaching will fill you with ideas and insights. At the same time, you’ll learn how to lead with empathy; caring for your most important and valuable resource: your people. You won’t just be sitting taking notes, though. You’ll undertake research projects on your own and in groups, propose solutions to real-world problems, and present in front of audiences.

Hospitality Immersion Program
Practical immersion
To lead the way in hospitality, you must first understand all aspects of the business – and not just in a theoretical sense. For graduate students new to the industry, we offer an intensive two- week Hospitality Immersion Program.
On the program, you’ll gain first-hand knowledge of industry standards. You’ll also experience the pressures of working in service, the pace of life in the kitchens, and the art of the Rooms division. It will be challenging – but you’ll emerge with a deeper understanding of the industry.
Service
Learn how to deliver excellent service while working in different campus venues – including fine dining, banquet, and fast-service situations.
Food & Beverage
Go beyond cooking lessons and experience the heat of the kitchen under the guidance of our chefs.
Rooms division
Discover what five-star hospitality really means through realistic simulations in our purpose-built front-office counter.
Develop your skills
Semester 1 is a thorough immersion in the world of premium hospitality. You’ll learn the secrets of great service, discover the sensory world of wine and – whether you are with us on campus or at home – you will mix cocktails and develop your kitchen skills under the guidance of expert practitioners. You will also be taken into the nerve center of the hotel operation, getting to grips with property management systems and experiencing the attention to detail needed in the all-important rooms division. It will be challenging – but you’ll emerge with a deeper understanding of how to manage teams and businesses.

Business field trips
Business trips are built into our programs. A favorite with our students, they provide complete industry immersion – allowing you to visit innovative properties and engage with those at the forefront of the hospitality sector. To provide you with as much flexibility as possible given the current circumstances, you will have a two-year window in which to join study trips included in your program.
Consultancy projects and case studies
Depending on your program, you’ll either carry out a consultancy project for a leading hospitality company or produce a case study on a genuine business issue. Approaching these complex challenges will develop your research abilities, your problem-solving skills and your presentation techniques. If you’re carrying out a consultancy project, you will have the opportunity to put into practice your leadership and problem-solving abilities, working on a real-life challenge. Top-tier hospitality companies from the region and abroad will ask the class to provide them with an operations or strategy solution to their business. It’s not a case study; it’s real consultancy for real companies.
