Subject: Hospitality Management
Course Overview
BA (Hons) International Hospitality Management with Foundation Year is designed for students who want to build a successful career in the hospitality and wider visitor economy.
The foundation year gives you time to strengthen your academic skills, professional confidence and subject knowledge before progressing to the honours degree. You will then explore how hospitality businesses create excellent customer experiences, manage operations, lead teams, use technology and respond to changing industry needs.
Throughout the programme, you will develop a strong understanding of hotels, resorts, restaurants, visitor attractions and other hospitality businesses. You will also consider entrepreneurship, sustainability, revenue management, digital innovation and the social and environmental impact of hospitality.
How CSA will deliver your programme
CSA delivers Level 4 to Level 6 programmes through face-to-face teaching supported by online learning materials. You will benefit from tutor-led sessions on campus, independent study resources, digital learning materials and additional support where required.
You will work with tutors and fellow students in a welcoming learning environment, using case studies, practical activities, discussions and group work to bring hospitality management concepts to life. To make the most of your studies, we recommend setting aside regular time each week for independent learning and assessment preparation.
