Programme highlights

Hospitality is a growing industry that needs qualified supervisors and managers with the skills to make strategic decisions, implement operational systems and processes as well as plan for the future and manage people.

By studying Hospitality Management at MIT, you'll learn the supervisory and management skills needed for a range of hospitality businesses. Your studies will give you the tools to manage and operate food and beverage outlets, provide front office services, manage and maintain various types of accommodation or establish new hospitality enterprises.

Build a strong foundation of practical business and communication skills with core knowledge in accountancy, management, economics, marketing and computing while specialising in your Hospitality Management major.
