Objectives

The Master’s in Hospitality Management aims to offer students the necessary theory and practical training to achieve, at the highest level, their personal and professional development as managers in companies related to the international hospitality industry.

Therefore, the curriculum is designed to provide students with the necessary knowledge -both theoretical and practical- and to ensure their professional development as future directors/managers. The theoretical section covers all major hotel departments or divisions which enables students to have a thorough knowledge of the daily activity of a world- class hospitality establishment.

The practical section or internship comprises 500 hours and is developed with the collaboration of well-established hotels and hotel chains. The internship becomes the essential part of the student learning process i.e putting all the recently acquired theory into practice. This practical experience is crucial for students’ employability as it broadens their vision of the hospitality industry.

UCAM Experience

“When I entered in my classroom, I saw different nationalities from all around. Rather than going and living in a different culture, I got everything in a single room.”

“My teachers, they are always there for me. In many steps, I was afraid, because I was new here and I didn’t know anything about the culture, but they guided me a lot.”

Nadia Khan, student from Pakistan that studied in Master’s in Hospitality Management
