Learn hospitality from a country which is a cauldron of different cultures, people of different origins and famous brands in travel and hospitality...
The exposure to UK’s hospitality education helped Gaurav Chawla become a lecturer for hotel and hospitality management at University of South Wales. After his three-year hotel management course in India, Gaurav went to the UK to work and soon pursued master’s in hospitality and event management at Edinburgh Napier University to set his career on track.
Get the edge
“It is an industry which will ultimately require you to step outside your comfort zones,” says Gaurav. Explaining the difference between education in India and the UK he says, “There was one more layer of finesse in everything from cultural exposure, to food art and design, where there was much more focus on management, rather than only operational skills.”
According to Gaurav, three ingredients makes a UK degree stand out. First is the medium of instruction; and the second, paid work during the study period. The third and most important factor is the global recognition for UK degrees, which gives students an edge in employability.
Course structure
Course structures vary between institutions, depending on how they blend academic and career-based training. UK undergraduate degrees normally last for three to four years. A four-year degree programme will involve professional training, while a three-year degree may or may not include the training component.
