BSc Hospitality and Tourism Management

This BSc programme, offered at SD Dombo University of Business and Integrated Development Studies, prepares you for a career in the hospitality and tourism industry. It sits within the School of Business and is one of the less competitive degree options in this field at the university. The following pages explain what the subject involves and what you can expect from applying.

What hospitality and tourism management covers

Programmes of this kind usually cover the business of hospitality and tourism from two sides: the operational skills needed to run hotels, restaurants, and travel services, and the strategic skills needed to plan, market, and manage them. Students typically study subjects such as customer service, food and beverage management, tour operations, destination marketing, and hospitality accounting. Many programmes also include a work placement or practical project, so you can connect what you learn in class to the real industry.

How competitive the programme is

At SD Dombo University, admission to this degree is less competitive than at many other universities. For comparison, KNUST's hospitality and tourism programme is highly competitive, while Ho Technical University, Koforidua Technical University, and Sunyani Technical University also offer it with less competitive entry. A less competitive programme means that your grades do not need to be among the highest to be considered. You should still check the university's published requirements to confirm your WASSCE subjects and grades are accepted, because entry decisions are based on those specific criteria.
