The 4‑week Preparation Course during summer months at Hotelschool The Hague is designed for motivated applicants who want to enter the bachelor’s programme with confidence, clarity, and a strong academic foundation. This course provides a structured introduction to the school’s learning environment, expectations, and core hospitality concepts, ensuring students are fully prepared to succeed from day one.
One of the programme’s key strengths is its focus on essential academic and professional skills. Over four weeks, participants develop competencies in critical thinking, communication, teamwork, and problem‑solving skills that are central to the HTH’s curriculum and the hospitality industry at large. Through interactive workshops, practical assignments, and guided study sessions, students learn how to approach coursework effectively and manage the fast‑paced nature of the bachelor’s programme.
The course also offers valuable exposure to hospitality fundamentals. Participants explore topics such as service excellence, guest experience, and basic operational principles, giving them a head start before entering the full programme. This early immersion helps students build confidence and familiarity with industry terminology, standards, and expectations.
Another unique advantage is the opportunity to connect with peers, faculty, and the campus environment before the academic year begins. Students form early networks, gain insight into the school’s culture, and receive personalised feedback that supports their transition into higher education.
Ultimately, the 4‑week Preparation Course equips future HTH students with the mindset, skills, and foundational knowledge needed to thrive. It is an ideal steppingstone for those who want to start their hospitality journey strong and make the most of their studies from the very beginning.
