UCAM Universidad Católica San Antonio de Murcia

Master in Hospitality Management Online

The Master’s Degree in Hospitality Management / Máster en Dirección de Hoteles y Empresas de Restauración is aimed at university graduates with a passion for the hospitality and tourism sector, with a specific vocation for the planning, development, and management of hotels and catering companies. These students will be able to take the Master’s Degree, and they will obtain an official qualification approved by ANECA if they successfully pass all the exams.

The Master’s in Hospitality Management aims to offer students the necessary theory and practical training to achieve, at the highest level, their personal and professional development as managers in companies related to the international hospitality industry.

Therefore, the curriculum is designed to provide students with the necessary knowledge -both theoretical and practical- and to ensure their professional development as future directors/managers. The theoretical section covers all major hotel departments or divisions which enables students to have a thorough knowledge of the daily activity of a world-class hospitality establishment.

The practical section or internship comprises 500 hours and is developed with the collaboration of well-established hotels and hotel chains. The internship becomes the essential part of the student learning process i.e putting all the recently acquired theory into practice. This practical experience is crucial for students’ employability as it broadens their vision of the hospitality industry.
