Collaborate with Hotel School students
Are you open to a fresh perspective on your company or organization? Are you looking for innovative ideas? Would you like to have that in-depth research done for which you cannot find the time yourself? To keep our programme challenging and up to date, we like to join hands with companies and organizations in the hospitality industry. This provides great opportunities for both you and us.
Every year, in February and September, about 30 project groups start their management project. This is the first part of the HMSM graduation programme. All assignments are provided by external clients. The management project lasts 20 weeks and a project group consists of four or five fourth-year students. They work as hospitality consultants and are assisted by expert supervisors.
Hotel Management: Accor, Hilton, Marriott, WOW Amsterdam, Twin Peaks, Signify, Event Hotels, Penta Hotels, Postillon, Zoku Amsterdam
Foodservice: Vaeshartelt, Bidfood, Douwe Egberts, Foodservice Instituut Nederland, Sligro, Ghost Kitchen, Citesta’s, Vitam, Holland Foods, Novish, Smaakcentrum Limburg
Horizons in Hospitality: Maastricht UMC+, Zinzia Zorggroep, Brightlands, ABN AMRO, Hunkemöller, Restaurant Company Europe, Mamita Alice, AZC Maastricht, Provincie Limburg and several municipalities
The assignments can relate to all areas of hospitality, linked to the three HMSM profiles: Hotel Management, Foodservice and Horizons in Hospitality (aimed at organizations where hospitality is not the core business, but where it can make a difference, such as healthcare institutions and retail).
The students present the results of their research in a research report (mandatory) and an advisory report (or another -previously agreed- product) to the client. But first, each student individually defends the reports before an internal and an external examiner - the latter is an industry representative.
Hours: an investment of time (consultation moments with students) that is appropriate for the assignment and the willingness to provide the information necessary to carry out the assignment;
Euros: a contribution towards the costs of € 2,750 per project; a sum that is comparable to the average internship fee for one student. In principle, all costs are covered in this contribution.
