B-Tech Hospitality and Management Studies

This B-Tech programme is in hospitality and management studies, a field that combines business skills with the practical management of hotels, restaurants, and tourism services. It is offered at Cape Coast Technical University's School of Applied Sciences & Technology. The field is well suited to students who enjoy working with people and want to run or manage service businesses.

What hospitality and management studies involve

Programmes of this kind usually cover a mix of practical and business subjects. You can expect to study front office operations, food and beverage service, housekeeping, event planning, and customer care, alongside accounting, marketing, and human resource management. The aim is to give you the skills to supervise daily operations in hospitality settings and make sound business decisions.

How hard it is to get a place

This is a less competitive programme, which means places are not as fiercely fought over as some other business degrees at public universities. That said, you still need to meet the university's published entry requirements, so check your WASSCE grades against them before you apply.

Where the degree can take you

Most graduates go into hotel and restaurant management, event planning, tourism promotion, or run their own hospitality businesses. Others work in catering, guest house management, or travel agencies. The degree also provides a good foundation for postgraduate study in business or hospitality management.
