3 YEARS PROGRAM
Academic: Bachelor Year 1
With weeks of theoretical courses followed by weeks of professional experience in application structures right on the campus, students can immediately apply what they’ve learned in management, marketing, human resources and professional culture. All students also study two foreign languages, including English, which is indispensable for careers in the hospitality industry.
Internship: Bachelor year 1
The first internship, selected by the school, takes place in the country over 4 to 5 months, either in summer or in winter. Working at a hotel during the entire peak season, students learn how to master basic but essential tasks at the front desk and in restaurant services. By carrying out the daily work their teams will do, these future hotel managers acquire credibility with those they will be managing during their careers.
Academic: Bachelor year 2
In the classroom, new courses such as law and the tourist economy complete the curriculum for students. During practical application weeks, students begin their managerial work: they supervise 1st year students while being managed themselves by 3rd year students. Students can also apply to do their 2nd year abroad, in a different Vatel School, in the framework of the Marco Polo program, when this is accepted by the School Director.
Internship: Bachelor year 2
As is the case for the first year, schools choose the second internship. This internship lasts for 5 to 6 months, and also has an operational dimension, but it takes place in a foreign country, preferably an English-speaking country to help students develop their linguistic skills and their cross-cultural qualities.
Academic: Bachelor year 3
Students continue to acquire financial, legal, economic and linguistic skills that they’ll be needing when managing a hotel. Using concrete case studies, they develop their analytical capacities and decision-making skills. In their professional experience, they manage second year students and make sure they are conveying the correct messages to first year students.
Internship: Bachelor year 3
The third-year internship, which is an operational one and lasts for 5 to 6 months, takes place either in Europe or abroad.
With the Bachelor in International Hotel Management, you are qualified to hold operational management positions in the international hotel and tourism industries. During these 3 years of schooling, Vatel students:
- acquire professional, legal, economic and fundamental linguistic knowledge for their field;
- learn managerial techniques and team-leading skills.
These future managers in the international hospitality industry tackle concrete and operational professional realities throughout the curriculum:
- They have real clients in Vatel’s restaurants and application hotels.
- During their practical application weeks, older students manage younger ones: they all work together in real management conditions.
- They perfect their skills in their internships.
- Their courses are given by professors as well as professionals in hospitality and tourism industries.
