Course description
Postgraduate Diploma in Hotel and Resort Management
Students entering the Postgraduate Program typically wish to change their career path, drawn by the exciting opportunities offered by the Hospitality Industry.
Students enrolled in the Postgraduate diploma Program at Swiss Hotel Management School will have an option to specialise in in International Hotel Operations Management or in International Hotel and Events Management.
Students who choose the Hotel Operations pathway have the advantage of accelerated learning as they benefit from the unique blended learning style with on-the-job practice in the Campus outlets, under the guidance of qualified lecturers and instructors.
The Hotel & Events Management pathway appeals to those seeking a more theory-driven approach. They typically already have some work experience in the field while lacking the pertinent undergraduate degree. The general core Modules of F&B, Rooms Division, HR and Revenue Management apply, enhanced by Modules focused on Hotel Management, MICE events, Marketing or Facility Management.
As part of this Program, students will be required to complete a 4-6 month industry internship, which allows for the practical application of their education as well as the perfect opportunity to grow their professional network.
