The first thing that comes to our minds when we hear Travel and Hospitality is ‘people’. As the name of the degree suggests, it is all about customer service. Travel and Hospitality degrees prepare candidates to work in diverse working environments all over the world.
Even so, many people confuse Travel 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 Travel 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.
Experts say that it only takes six months for Travel 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.

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.

Toronto Metropolitan University is an institution built around helping people achieve their goals while simultaneously teaching how to lift other people up. There are many extracurricular activities, job fairs, and school spirit events that helped engage the students because TMU didn’t just care about your Academic success, they cared about your livelihood as well. I would recommend Toronto Metropolitan University to any student considering applying for post secondary education in Toronto.

I like how the students feedback on course, programs, and extra curriculars are always considered. I do not like how hard it is to book appointments with program advisors because the slots always fill up really fast. That being said, I would recommend this university to the new senior out of high school as being part of this fine institution for just a year has made me want to share my opinions every chance I get because I know how much they are valued.
