The proposed new programme in Hospitality will be a collaborative venture between Edinburgh Napier University and Glasgow Metropolitan College, (GMC).
Glasgow Metropolitan College has been a market leader in the provision of Hospitality & professional Cookery education since the 1960s. The move to provide this degree award in Hospitality Management is key in giving students of hospitality a national and internationally recognised qualification.
The Edinburgh Napier University has delivered a BA (Hons) degree in Hospitality Management for many years and has, within that Faculty considerable experience in supporting degrees delivered by partner institutions.
The main focus of this course is to provide our students with the necessary skills and knowledge to be able to apply for suitable positions in the global business environment. In the UK, according to the British Hospitality Association, the industry is made up of about 127,000 businesses and employs a workforce of 1.6 million people.
The course design and structure will provide you with these necessary skills to join an ever expanding workforce. We are committed to be at the cutting edge of hospitality courses. Our teaching excellence, strong commercial relationships and pragmatic expertise allow us to deliver inspiring, challenging and effective Hospitality programmes.
The course content covers a wide range of subjects to prepare you for your future management career in the hospitality and tourism industries. You will specialise in hospitality business with the opportunity to study modules in:
- Food and Wine
