Hotel Management

Curriculum and Overview

Our 13-month, full-time MBA Programme focuses on business development, concept innovation and change management. Developed from the demands of the industry, the MBA Programme is designed to challenge you as a future leader in service innovation. Founded on hospitality principles: you learn to excel and make a difference in industries where hospitality is or will become a key differentiator.

We complement theoretical learning with practical applications. You will work with, or consult for real-life companies on current issues throughout the programme; all the while honing and developing your personal and professional skills.

As an MBA, our curriculum is focused mainly on business, and can be applied within any context, regardless of whether it’s directly-linked to hospitality or not! Hospitality takes on a more conceptual role, and is at the heart of our programme, inspiring new ways of maximizing stakeholder value and creating sustainable competitive advantages in a world were change is ever-present and constantly accelerating!

Our programme is taught exclusively in English

About Hotelschool The Hague

We are proud of the fact that Hotelschool The Hague is one of the last independent single sector Universities of Applied Sciences in The Netherlands. Hotelschool The Hague was founded and funded in 1929 by the hospitality industry to create a central place where industry partners could gain and share new insight, skills and knowledge. Since its foundation, the Hotelschool has become an international school specialised in hospitality management.

Since the foundation more than 85 years ago the hotel school has become bigger, more internationally oriented and has professionalised immensely. But the original fundamentals stayed the same, like the dedicated focus on hospitality and the strong connection with the industry. Also the “core business” of the hotel school stayed the same; a centre where hospitality knowledge and skills are bundled, developed, researched, shared and transferred as realistic as possible in order to prepare young hospitality leadership talents for a successful career in the business. Hotelschool The Hague, at the heart of Hospitality.
