Students will learn basic principles of customer service, operations management, interpersonal skills and the use of emotional intelligence for dealing with people, in a professional context with a multicultural and international approach.

The practical emphasis in the degree is achieved using a methodology of small groups in classrooms and facilities designed to simulate real life situations in different hospitality companies. This is reinforced with the immersion in the job market through the work placements in hotel and restaurant businesses. The objective is that the students carry out tasks at a management level or in the operational areas or departments (Food and Beverage, Rooms Division, Human Resources, Marketing, Accounting and Finance,…) as well as at the strategic level by means of an intensive training while using various foreign languages and IT skills. 

The study plan for this degree is designed to qualify young people and professionals who have a clear vocation for hospitality with the idea that they will be able to develop their profession immediately, either from a hotel business perspective or in the area of restaurant businesses. The degree includes two mentions:  mention in Hotel Management and mention in Gastronomy. The structure of the study plan includes material in common for both mentions and specific training for each one based on the competences to be acquired by the students and the different professional profiles available upon finishing the degree.

The curriculum includes two specialisations:

- Mention in Hotel Management
- Mention in Gastronomy.

At the end of the 1st year, students must compulsorily choose one of the two mentions. To obtain the specialisation, they will have to take the 68 optional credits linked to the chosen specialisation and another 6 free optional credits chosen from among the free subjects offered for the specialisation.

Once the specialisation has been chosen, students will only have one opportunity to change their specialisation, and may choose to do so before the end of the second year on-campus teaching period. In this case, the student will enrol in the third year in the new specialisation under the conditions established in the degree report.

BRIDGE COURSE:
The bridge course will require completing and passing a specific number of ECTS credits, depending on the case studies listed below, and will always require completing the Final Degree Project.

CASE STUDY 1: Student who completed and passed Strategic Management of Hotel Companies in the Higher Diploma.
Total of 9 ECTS credits to be completed. One elective subject (3 ECTS) and a Final Degree Project (6 ECTS).

CASE STUDY 2: Student who did NOT complete Strategic Management of Hotel Companies in the Higher Diploma.

Given the nature and professional orientation of the degree, the recommended student profile includes candidates with a vocation for service to others, sociability and interpersonal skills, interest in contact with people from different cultures, knowledge of languages and the management and dynamisation of human groups. It is also desirable to be motivated by the world of gastronomy and hotel management.

Access is by the routes indicated in Royal Decree 412/2014 of 6 June, which establishes the basic regulations for access and admission procedures to official university degree courses (art. 3). In any case, students coming from studies that include language training, especially English in which a minimum level of B1 is recommended, knowledge of the business field or the hotel sector, will have an ideal profile.

At the beginning of each academic year, a course presentation day is held, where information is provided on the relevant aspects for the student to guarantee a correct integration from the first day. Likewise, students in general are informed of the different resources that the CSHG makes available to them as academic and administrative support tools; 1st year students are also introduced to the Academic Coordination Department.

Prior to and during the first day of the course, they will have access to various welcome information (specifically for 1st year students): general information, school calendars, class timetables, internal regulations, residence regulations, practicum (stage) regulations, distribution and timetables of facilities, departmental structure, information about Santiago, programmes and teaching guides, initial teaching material, etc.

The CSHG has an Academic Coordination Department, whose function is to plan, organise, supervise and control all teaching activity. This department has a Student Secretary's Office and a Pedagogical Guidance Service, available to students, which offers pedagogical support for the guidance and monitoring of students in the different academic paths.

From the beginning of the academic year and on an ongoing basis, the Academic Coordination Department monitors students, paying special attention to the integration and adaptation of foreign students or those with specific needs. Each year has a course tutor and there is a system of teaching tutoring by the teaching staff throughout the academic year, both individually and in groups.

The CSHG also has a Stages department (practicum or external internships) that advises students on organizing their internships in companies and possible future professional orientation, supported by different internship tutors and by the Alumni Association, which also participates in this work and is closely linked to the business sector.

The USC has a student tutor program for undergraduate degrees, so that students in their final years, after training provided by the University, carry out orientation tasks for students who are beginning their studies.

The USC has a student-tutor program for the undergraduate degrees, so that final year students, after receiving training from the University, can perform orientational tasks to students initiating their studies.

When a degree suspension occurs, the USC guarantees the adequate development of teachings that were initiated by their students until its suspension. For that, the Government Council approves the criteria related with the admission of new degree entry registration and the gradual suspension of teaching impartation, among others.

If the suspended degree is substituted for a similar one —modifying the nature of the degree—, the new degree regulations will set the conditions to facilitate students the continuity of the new degree’s studies. These regulations will also set subject equivalences in both programs.

Internships

The syllabus includes 28 compulsory credits of external work experience distributed in the following subjects: Practicum in companies I (12 credits) and Practicum in companies II (16 credits).

Throughout the structure of the practical-professional training structure of the syllabus, students will have the opportunity to put into practice their theoretical and practical knowledge, skills and abilities, attitudes and values (competences) acquired, both in the different subjects of the first courses with a more operative orientation, and in the last courses in each practicum, which are compulsory. In this way, students can internalise the reality of the sector, identify different types of clients, get to know different business models, learn to integrate into work teams and finally be able to identify their own strengths and areas for improvement with a view to their future integration into the labour market. In each case, the learning objectives and outcomes, duration and destination are variable (local, national and international), depending on the year studied.

In total, including the compulsory practicum and internships included in the different subjects of the degree, the degree includes a total of 52 credits in practical-professional training activities, which is an important part of the training process. In each academic year, students who meet the conditions to be able to carry out these internships must do them at the end of the classroom teaching period at the CSHG, thus allowing them to put into practice the competences planned for each one.

The Degree in Hotel Management and Administration includes a final project worth 6 credits. It consists of the preparation of a business project that involves either the integration and implementation of knowledge and skills from different areas of the syllabus, with a global and integrated vision, or specialisation in a specific area of the syllabus curriculum, linked to the actual operation of an establishment.

The content may involve a critical analysis of the business reality of the establishment in question or the development of a suitably assessed proposal, as well as its possible implementation and putting into practice.

The TFG stimulates autonomous learning, giving students greater confidence in their ability to learn on their own and complements their capacity for adaptation. It allows the acquisition and implementation of knowledge and skills linked to the different areas, enabling the development of initiative and entrepreneurial skills, creativity and innovation.

There will be personalised tutorials to support and guide the student in carrying out the work, seeking to develop the student's reflective capacity and fostering their autonomy in skills such as planning, problem solving and decision making.
