Hospitality Management Programme
If the past two years have proven anything, then it is that you need a qualification that is applicable across many professional fields. The accommodation, tourism, and culinary industries were hard hit by the worldwide regulations in response to the COVID-19 health crisis. But the industries bounced back with renewed energy and have adapted to mitigate similar types of risks in future.
Aligned with this resilient approach, CHS’s Hospitality Management Programme is comprehensive enough to ensure the qualification can be applied across industries and industry segments. The course content and approach to learning in the CHS programme speak to the forward-thinking and future-proof approach of our esteemed hotel school to provide students with practical experience, training, and theoretical knowledge, opening several doors on their career journey.
