International Hospitality Management (Taught)

In one of the world's most global industries, employers are looking for creativity, confidence and passion from the next generation of hospitality leaders.

The growth of the worldwide hospitality industry has been dominated by American and, to a lesser extent, Western European multinational brands. However, the last decade has seen a significant increase in the emergence and growth of successful hospitality organisations from a range of emerging nations and cultures from across the world. This programme is designed to reflect the increasing cultural and geographical diversity of the hospitality industry.

As a global industry, the hospitality sector is driven by human connection and personalisation, relying on the experiences its workforce can deliver and the memories its customers create. To be a leader in the hospitality or events sector you'll need the creativity to think outside of the norm and the confidence to manage everything thrown at you in an industry where no two days are the same.

With the MSc International Hospitality Management, these two strands are intertwined. This programme combines a deeper understanding of the hospitality sector with the skills and knowledge of successful management.

This programme will include a Dissertation as part of your assessment, featuring up to 15 hours of individual tutorials with your dissertation supervisor. It will also include examinations for modules associated with the Essex Business School and coursework.
