Hospitality courses gain accreditation

Two of Strathclyde Business School's Hospitality and Tourism Management degrees (UG in Department of Management and MSc in Department of Marketing) have recently been accredited by the Institute of Hospitality.

This confers the international recognition of a quality standard in respect of hospitality, leisure and tourism management education programmes that are relevant to the needs of industry and which meet accepted Institute of Hospitality international benchmark criteria.

Furthermore, it also provides a respected quality standard that is recognised worldwide and confers unique benefits to the successful organisation. The review panel was particularly impressed by the focus on research within the curriculum and the links with industry. Students upon graduation will be eligible to become associate members of the institute and existing students will have access to the institute's unique collection of academic and non-academic resources.
