It’s an accelerated version of our BA Hospitality Management programme lasting approximately 2.5 years that will allow you to build on your experience and management skills.

This accelerated programme kicks off with an intensive four-week Preparation Course that takes place during the summer. You then move on to the second year of the regular bachelor’s programme. After successfully completing years two, three and four, you’ll graduate with an internationally recognised ‘Bachelor of Arts in Hospitality Management’ (BA.HM).
