The BSc programme provides a learning environment which builds upon the hospitality management discipline at ordinary degree level and encourages a theoretical approach and a research ethos. It provides a programme of study that enhances relationships with industry and the school as a centre of excellence in the hospitality, hotel and restaurant management area and it encourages social, ethical and leadership competencies in this field. It is this combination of higher learning outcomes that warrants an Honours award. This higher level of learning can be displayed by acquiring and utilising the additional cognitive skills of evaluation and synthesis which will be ensured by the modules offered.

The minimum entry requirements for the BSc (Honours) in Hospitality Management is a Merit Lower or above in an Ordinary degree in Hospitality Management or equivalent. Students graduating from other third-level institutions with an equivalent qualification who are seeking an honours level degree are encouraged to apply. Students will be selected on the basis of their academic results. Final selection may involve an interview.
