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.
I recommend it due to its infrastructure, vision, and people.
The campus is beautiful, and the spaces and services are great.
Apart from that, professors are usually young, smart, and passionate about teaching
The only thing I didn’t like was the price. Even though it is a great place to study, learn, make contacts, and grow professionally, the price is really high for the majority of people.
View moreAs someone who completed two degrees at Universidad Anáhuac, I can confidently say that it was a transformative experience, both academically and professionally. The university is deeply committed to forming leaders, not just employees. From day one, you’re guided to think like a business owner, a decision-maker, and a changemaker.
One of the things I appreciated most was how Anáhuac emphasizes values, entrepreneurship, and leadership. In my case, as well as that of many family members and friends who also studied there, the majority of us went on to start our ventures or secure successful roles in top organizations. The alumni network is strong, and the university’s name carries weight in many industries.
The academic programs that have been around for a while are particularly solid. Faculties like Business, Law, Medicine, Communication, Design, Architecture, Engineering — and especially Tourism and Gastronomy — offer a high standard of education, strong industry connections, and excellent job placement opportunities after graduation. In my experience, the Tourism and Gastronomy faculty in particular combines technical mastery with a deep understanding of hospitality and leadership, preparing students to stand out in a highly competitive field.
That said, like any large institution, it has some areas to improve. In very popular programs, the personalized attention can occasionally get lost, and students might feel more like a number than an individual. It’s not the general rule, but it can happen depending on the size and maturity of the program.
Also, while the university is innovative in launching new degrees, some of the newer programs may face sustainability challenges if enrollment is low, which, in rare cases, has led to certain degrees being discontinued. This can understandably put students in a difficult position.
Still, I highly recommend Universidad Anáhuac — especially for well-established degrees. The university offers a strong foundation in leadership, entrepreneurship, and values, and it’s a place that truly encourages you to build your future on your terms.
