The integration of theory and practice is of utmost importance for a good professional preparation of the student.  During your training you will therefore be exposed to all the practical aspects of the hospitality and hotel industry. Students are expected to acquire all the relevant practical skills that will lead to an in-depth understanding of the working of service areas such as rooms, food production and service, and conference planning, organizing and execution.

Industrial placement

Industrial placement is the preparation phase for a position and often students are offered a permanent position in the company where they have done their industrial placement. During the semester of industrial placement, the students first familiarise themselves with the company. Then, they generally get various assignments within one or several departments.  Next to all types of practical skills, the students develop company specific management skills.  Students also get specific outcomes to reach during industrial placement in order to round off their training and prepare them as employees of the hospitality industry.
