What Is a Tourism and Hospitality Degree?

The first thing that comes to our minds when we hear Tourism and Hospitality is ‘people’. As the name of the degree suggests, it is all about customer service. Tourism and Hospitality degrees prepare candidates to work in diverse working environments all over the world. 

Even so, many people confuse Tourism and Hospitality degrees with Tourism degrees. What is the difference between these two? The main difference lies in where the employees work. With a Tourism degree, you can work in a museum, national park and so on, whilst with a Tourism and Hospitality degree you will work in hotels, restaurants. 

This degree is shaped in such a way that candidates acquire skills about hotel management, food preparation and sanitation as well as human resources.

Benefits of a Tourism and Hospitality Degree

Experts say that it only takes six months for Tourism and Hospitality graduates to find a job. The most frequent areas which display the highest number of job opportunities are catering management and hotel management. As a result of their flexible degree, 15% of the graduates choose to combine work with study to broaden their employability chances. 

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, this field will have an addition of 700 jobs, both in management positions and others. 

Perhaps the most important benefit is represented by the growth opportunities. This degree will teach you about networking and developing your emotional intelligence, which are of utmost importance in this field. 

Tourism and Hospitality Degree Structure

This degree lasts for three years, out of which one year should be spent abroad. Usually, in the second year of their studies, students go abroad and study in a partner country. The whole idea behind this is to encourage cultural awareness and adaptation. 

Additionally, some universities in the UK provide a compulsory internship during which students gather relevant industry experience.

    Knowledgeable professors.

    While the professors were a highlight, my overall experience at the university was less impressive. The facilities were outdated, and there were limited opportunities for hands-on learning or real-world exposure to the tourism industry. I felt that the university lacked the practical resources and career support necessary to truly prepare students for the competitive job market.

    Despite the strong academic foundation, the university could greatly benefit from modernizing its infrastructure and providing more industry connections to ensure students are better equipped for their careers.

    Not bad but needs changes

    Like every institution Brusov State University also has its good and bad sides. My experience in the university was really memorable thanks to some of the lecturers and staff members, as well as the friends I have made there. BSU offers different fields of study, such as linguistics, public relations, journalism, tourism, international relations, European studies, political science, but its main focus is the fields of foreign languages. Wherever profession you chose for your study be sure that you will also be learning many languages, as the university teaches 28 languages, such as English, Russian, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Chinese, Korean and more. Another positive thing about the BSU that it closely works with many international university and organizations. Hence students are given many opportunities to become exchange students in other European universities or take part in training courses. As for the things that need to be changes in the university is the approach of many lectures that are mostly focused on the theories and somehow manage to make their lectures boring. Another thing that I did not like is that the classrooms are not comfortable and the equipment (notebooks, computer, projectors, etc) are old and need to be changes.
