Continue studying
Do you have your bachelor's degree in Hotel Management? Don’t stop studying. Follow one of our English-taught Masters; the Master in Facility and Real Estate Management or the Joint Master Leading Hospitality Innovation.
Moving on to a university master's is also an option. Almost all universities offer transfer programmes. In most cases, you first need to follow a one-year pre-master. Zuyd University of Applied Sciences, together with Maastricht University, has developed a special pre-masters minor. You follow this minor during the final phase of the bachelor study programme. If you complete this programme, you will immediately be admitted to one of the following masters:
- International Business
- Management of Learning
- Global Supply Chain Management and Change
- Business Intelligence and Smart Services
That way you can complete both your bachelor hotel management and your master’s in five years.
