The University boasts one of the finest tourism and hospitality buildings in Europe, with state-of-the-art facilities. Our courses combine practical elements of hospitality management with key management skills, knowledge and competencies, in a multicultural classroom environment, providing graduates with the best possible foundation for a future career.
Modern demonstration and production kitchens, IT and front office laboratories, a demonstration theatre, training restaurants and bar, and well equipped classrooms are all features of the Tourism and Hospitality Building at MTU. Administration and support facilities are offered in an environment where students have direct access to an experienced and qualified lecturing team.
Formal lectures, tutorials, individual and team project work, guest speakers, industry visits and field trips are all an integral part of the course. A range of elective modules are available so that students can pursue particular topics which interest them.
There is a mandatory work placement of a minimum of 12 weeks between year 1 and year 2 and a 1 semester management internship in year 3. Work Placement allows the student to experience hospitality organisations at various grades in Ireland and gives them opportunities to travel abroad for their third year work placement.
