    Foundation Year Programs in Hospitality Management

    Foundation year programs are a great option for students who may not yet be ready to engage in degree studies. These programs are designed to introduce collegiate-level academic rigor and field-specific concepts.

    What is a foundation year in hospitality management? Characteristically, these programs offer a foundation in hospitality management for the purpose of preparing students for advanced degrees and eventual careers in the hospitality and tourism industry. Coursework may cover topics such as marketing, human resource management, event operations and finance. Course material may be presented synchronously, asynchronously or a combination thereof, and may require that students demonstrate both an academic and practical application of their developing knowledge and skill sets.

    Engaging in a foundation year in hospitality management has the potential to be beneficial not only in the workforce, but also in one’s private life. In addition to the refinement of organizational skills, scholars may discover that their understanding of other cultures and their ability to communicate has improved.

    Factors such as program duration and institution location can have an impact on the cost of enrolling in a foundation year program. Students should consult an admission representative to ensure that a program is a good financial fit.

    Once a student has completed a foundation year studying hospitality management, it is likely that new academic and career opportunities will arise. Foundation year completion places scholars in a better position to enter degree programs in fields such as hotel management, catering technology, tourism management and food and beverage management. Graduates often land leadership and managerial roles in fast food, hotels, catering, customer service, retail stores and human resources departments. Some job titles include destination manager, operations manager, restaurant manager, sales representative, director of food and beverage, and guest service manager.
