Milestones Completed

Since the commencement of the programme in 2001, HTH has seen over 5239 students graduate from the Regular and International Fast tracks of the BA.HM. Academically, students have consistently performed well, and this has been reflected in the quality of internal and industry assessment, both during the work placement supervision and during the graduation process by industry commissioners. They have confirmed the general final quality of the students based on their graduation thesis, LYCar dissemination events and professionalism in oral defence.

Special Feature: Small-Scale and Intensive Education

The challenging HM bachelor programme, enhanced by the intensive education made possible with our Special Feature, enables students to be selected by companies for quality management work placements leading to impressive graduation projects. Often this also leads to further employment with the same high-profile companies. Our students have performed their in-company graduation in such companies as Marriott International, Hilton Hotels & Resorts, The Social Hub, Heineken, Jumeirah Hotels & Resorts, Hyatt Hotels, Accor Hotels Group, Unilever and KLM.
