Marriott Hotels have partnered with University of Wales Trinity Saint David to introduce a BA degree course in International Hotel Management at the University's Swansea campus.
The programme comprises two years of full time study. Each year is divided into three four-month blocks, two of which are spent studying at Swansea Business Campus with the remaining block spent on placement in the Marriott Hotel.
Students will spend a total of eight months within the Marriott Swansea Hotel, working in a range of departments from hotel administration and management to enhancing their guest service skills.
The programme will have a strong international focus and international students interested in pursuing a career in the hotel and hospitality sector either in their home country or elsewhere in the world are encouraged to apply.
High achieving students will be well placed for selection onto the Marriott “Voyager” Graduate Management Training programme.
Swansea Marriott Hotel is situated in the Maritime Quarter of the city. The hotel has 119 bedrooms, 367 sq-mt of conference and event space as well as extensive leisure facilities including a swimming pool and fully equipped gym.
Swansea Marriott Hotel has a wide client base including business guests and leisure tourists as well as hosting visiting Premier League football teams for fixtures at the Liberty Stadium just over two miles away.
