Who are these programmes for?
Each of these 5 month programmes, all of which are recognised by IMI's UK partner, Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU), are equivalent to the third year of university and allow a measure of specialisation in Restaurant, Hospitality, Tourism, Event or European Culinary management or in some cases a combination of two fields of study. We also offer a new course in Hospitality Entrepreneurship. The courses are designed for those with an interest in rapidly achieving junior management positions and who already have relevant qualifications and/or experience.
Programme objective and content
All the programmes share a common core of higher level management subjects with an emphasis on business development, including enterprise development and appraisal, human resource management and corporate financial planning. Specialisation is possible in tourism and transport, tourism consumer behaviour, food and beverage management and food costing, purchasing, merchandising and control. The programme also offers opportunities for learning and developing foreign language skills as well as higher management skills, for example negotiation and data analysis.
