A Master’s degree is a postgraduate qualification usually studied across one year, and which is focused on a specialized topic or subtopic. A Master of Advanced Studies in Hospitality Management zeroes in on the skills and knowledge required to manage within the global hospitality industry and all its related sectors.

For example, in your first semester you’ll learn about finance and performance management, marketing, event management, and business modeling – all within a hospitality/services economy context.

Yes it is, because it delivers a breadth of knowledge and skills that would be difficult to impossible for you to acquire at this level of detail through on-the-job experience.

Our Master of Advanced Studies in Hospitality Management with Specialization gives you the added benefit of being able to tailor your learning more closely to your future career ambitions, thanks to the six available specializations, delivering an even more favorable return on investment.

At Les Roches it is both – with hospitality management the focus of Master’s degrees and an MBA. These programs are tailored to different levels of prior qualification and professional experience. For example, the MAS in Hospitality Management with Specialization is open to those with or without a Bachelor’s degree, provided non-graduates have relevant professional experience.

For our MBA in Hospitality Management, students must have a degree plus a minimum of two years’ relevant work experience, in keeping with the program’s leadership-focused content

The unique advantage of this program is the ability it gives you to tailor your learning to your future career ambitions. Following one semester focused on core hospitality business content, you can then select a second semester that concentrates on one of six specializations.

Another important feature of this program is the way it immerses you in your topic, through business field trips in both semesters. These allow you to delve much more deeply into your topic, while also growing your industry network.

With this program, your career opportunities will very much depend on your choice of second semester specialization. Do you wish to work in the global cruise industry? Then you can choose that specialization. Do you have leadership ambitions? Then opt for the Leadership & Talent Management specialization. With this program, you are the master of your own future!

In your first semester, you will focus on core hospitality business knowledge, including finance and revenue management, marketing, events, and more.  This gives you the strong foundation you need to succeed in the industry.

In your second semester, the knowledge you acquire depends on the specialization you choose. If you wish to learn more about data analytics, e-commerce and artificial intelligence (AI), pick the specialization in Digital Transformation. Or if your desire is to learn about F&B concept development and best practices in customer service, you can opt for the specialization in F&B Entrepreneurship & Management. There are six specializations in total to choose from.
