Higher Certificate in Arts in Hospitality Studies

The Higher Certificate in Arts in Hospitality Studies is designed to meet the skills requirements of students who wish to pursue careers within the hospitality sector. Graduates typically work in contact with the customer in hotels, restaurants or bar operations or associated areas such as conferences and events. The strong element of practical learning involved in this course is appealing to many candidates.
 
Practical classes, formal lectures, guest lectures, site visits and group projects are all used to ensure students receive a fully rounded study environment. A formal work placement allows the student to put into practice the skills which they have learned while in college, under the guidance of an experienced hospitality professional, and students are awarded academic marks for this important component of their course.
 
The Tourism and Hospitality buildings are of the best modern standard and include modern Demonstration and Production Kitchens, IT Laboratories, a Demonstration Theatre, Training Restaurants, a Training Bar, Training Reception and fully equipped classrooms. In addition students have easy access to the wider Institute facilities such as an excellent library, IT facilities, sports and recreation facilities and other student supports, such as a large range of student clubs and societies.
 
Administration and support facilities are offered in an environment where students have direct access to an experienced and qualified lecturing team.
