5 reasons to apply for the Fast Track programme and how to secure your spot

If you are considering studying hospitality management and already have a prior education in the hospitality industry, then the Fast Track programme might be more suitable for you than the regular bachelor programme.

Here are 5 reasons to choose the Fast Track programme at Hotelschool The Hague:

1. Designed for experienced students

The Fast Track programme builds on your previous qualifications and experiences in the hospitality industry. That is why you need at least 16 weeks of prior education in the operations of either a hotel or restaurant. With this prior experience you are able to skip the operational part of the first year and immediately dive into the courses of the second year of the bachelor programme

2. Fast-tracking your bachelor’s degree to elevate your career

With this accelerated programme you are able to finish your bachelor’s degree in only 2.5 years instead of 4 years. After an in-depth 4 week preparation course held during the summer, you will start with the classes of the second year.

3. Smaller and close-knit community with likeminded people

Directly at the start of preparation course, you will meet all of your fellow Fast Track students. You will study, eat, and sleep under the same roof for 4 weeks. During that dynamic time, students grow together, not only as one big community but as a family that will support you throughout your time at Hotelschool The Hague and beyond.

"What makes the Fast Track community special for me, was the immense support system that you are in. Everyone is pushing each other to perform and stay motivated. You always have somebody to turn to when in need."

Katharina Schmid (student from Austria)

4. Cost effective

Since you’ll be studying for a shorter period, the Fast Track programme reduces overall tuition and living expenses compared to the regular 4-year programme. This makes it a more efficient and cost-effective way to obtain your degree, while still ensuring a world-class education.

5. Strong industry recognition

Having a Fast Track bachelor’s degree, automatically elevates your career prospects. Recruiters and HR employees will recognise the Fast Track option. It shows them that you are adapting to new situations quickly and are able to thrive in a fast-paced environment. Your engagement, dedication, and effort will make you stand out from other applicants.
