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.

    BUV: Program and Professors

    As a first year student in second semester, I believe that this university is strong in providing space and opportunities to improve in creative ways with many options to choose from. If students want to experience or get the most out of their University life/experience and for their future, then this school is the right place to come.

    For example, here, students are able to run events outside of their classes/lectures and join clubs that are student driven/lead. This motivates student to get out of their comfort zones and become the better versions of themselves.

    My experience at BUV has been really positive. What I enjoyed the most were the various student activities – they were well-organized, diverse, and created great opportunities to connect with both local and international students. The campus itself is modern, spacious, and very well-equipped, which made daily life on-site really comfortable.

    One of the highlights for me was the support from the International Office. They were always available, helpful, and supportive which made a huge difference as an international student. I also want to mention the accommodation at Ecopark. It’s peaceful, green, and well-maintained, offering a safe and comfortable living environment.

    Overall, BUV offered me a great experience in an international setting, and I’d definitely recommend it to other students looking to study in Vietnam. If I had to mention one downside, it would be that the academic courses felt a bit too easy at times.

    BUV experience

    If I had to talk about my experience in Vietnam, I would say that I am super happy to have this experience. We don’t all have the chance to go abroad for 4 months, especially to another continent. Thanks to this experience I can see the differences between countries in terms of culture, food and way of life. I also had the chance to visit a lot of other places such as Vietnam in the south or Thailand, Malaysia and also Japan. The campus life is really good too because there is a lot of different activities to do and people are really helpful with all our demands. For the accomodation service we have the chance to be well helped.
    Thank you for all the support and the nice opportunity and experience you give us. Thank you BUV

    Base knowledge

    Buv is a great university in general.
    Lovely campus with a quite helpful staff. Good international community and lots of different events that boost student life experience.

    Unfortunately Vietnamese people are preferring to have a small local groups which work as a limitation for a full recommendation.

    Ecopark area where this university located is a super chill and beutiful, with a small zoo and lovely lake.

    Professors atleast in my programme are professionals in their area of education. I do not agree with a course structure. From my point of view program needs to be more focus on actual management skills rather than labor practice.
