As a Global Hospitality Management graduate, you can work for international hotel companies.

- Rooms division, e.g. reception, guest relations/guest services, executive floor, housekeeping
- Food & beverage, e.g. F & B administration, banquet service, bar management, room service
- Head office, e.g. in hotel Development, quality management etc.
- Hospitality Consulting, e.g. project development, operational consulting, etc.
- Hospitality Tech, e.g. booking platforms, search engines, digital hospitality services, etc.
With an internationally-recognised Bachelor's degree, you also qualify for further education such as a master’s degree. This is the ideal foundation for a different academic career in business administration or hospitality management. In addition, there are possibilities to make your way to higher management positions in the hotel industry, up to general manager positions—or for a job in teaching and science.
