Le Cordon Bleu Masters Degree

The Le Cordon Bleu Masters degrees stand apart from the generic postgraduate business awards. Every aspect of each program is focused specifically on the hospitality industry.

These postgraduate programs have been developed to deliver rich course content and expose students to the various challenges that today’s hospitality managers face. Upon graduation, students are equipped with industry knowledge and skills usually held by those with many years’ experience.

The Le Cordon Bleu Master of Business Administration (MBA), International Hotel and Restaurant Management, is specifically designed to prepare students for working at middle-management level in the hospitality industry or allied industries, to be a future senior or corporate manager in an international hotel, resort or restaurant business.

This program positions future executives for a career at demanding levels of management by teaching the creative thinking required to operate in today's leading international hotels, resorts or restaurants.

Studies begin with a core of strategically oriented courses complemented by a range of hospitality management electives that allow for industry or functional study specialisation. To successfully complete the program students must complete all six core courses as well as six electives.
