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.
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.
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.

Good afternoon. I have always been very well treated and supported by the school, and I truly have nothing to complain about. My time as a student was very enriching — I asked questions, attended 100% of my classes, and I still benefit from this training today.
Thanks!

The chef instructors and curriculum are unbeatable. In my professional career I have gotten to witness the quality of students coming out of many culinary schools and absolutely none of them beat the quality of a Cordon Bleu Alumnus. The emphasis on precision and quality is unmatched, and the teachers are super knowledgeable, approachable, and wonderful to work with.
View moreThe program is overall very complex and teaches all parts of the culinary industry which is a good thing because you get knowledge from all departments although for some people it might be a little overwhelming. the management of the school is not good, the employee turnover is high which means the teachers change almost every year. overall I think its a nice program just needs to be a little more planned
View moreLe Cordon Bleu, Paris is one of the most iconic culinary schools in the world. French culinary techniques are taught at the school, I am doing a culinary arts diploma at the school. chef’s that worked at different Michelin star restaurants will train the students to attain their culinary goals. They are affiliated with world-class companies to provide wonderful career opportunities. The learning experience has been extraordinary and meeting people from different parts of the world will be fascinating.
View moreI really enjoyed my time at LCB! I’ve found that my skills when I entered the work force were much higher than others. I think though there was a big portion missing in recipe development and composition. True- we did learn it through memorizing the recipes, but we really were missing classes on how different ingredients affect the final textures.. how you can change them… etc. That I still am not an expert in .. and I create recipes! Ouf! Also, I don’t know if you still do a month of sugar work… but that really wasn’t necessary and should be either cut or minimized to just 2 lessons. It’s such a niche skill to know that I would have really preferred more technical skills. I loved the old location. The “rumors” I’m getting about the new location are that it’s not as good, unfortunately – that i’s become more of a money focused/marketing machine. I really hope that this image can be fixed as I love LCB and enjoyed my time there! Oh also – there should be more help for students to get jobs and featuring old students accomplishments – from cookbook launches to new bakeries so that current and old students can support them.
