The world of hospitality is in constant movement. More than ever, guests are looking for personalized experiences that are based on current developments in the world. Sustainability, technology, and hyper-personalization are shaping the future direction of the hotel industry.

In this dynamic context, hospitality remains a people business and therefore, HRM and Organisational Behaviour are important topics in our curriculum. They include: how to manage the employee journey, learning about leadership styles, managing team dynamics, diversity & inclusion, developing management skills, amongst which cross cultural management.

Besides a theoretical approach, much attention is paid to the practical application of this knowledge in various areas of hospitality management.

Together with your colleagues, you prepare talented students for the (international) hospitality world of today and tomorrow.
