BSc (Hospitality Management)

Hospitality management is the study of how to run businesses that serve guests and customers, from hotels and restaurants to events and tourism. A degree like the BSc Hospitality Management at the University of Cape Coast introduces you to the everyday realities of this field, from customer service to business strategy.

What studying hospitality management is like

Hospitality management programmes typically cover the operation of hotels, restaurants, bars, conference centres, and tourism services. You will learn about front office management, food and beverage service, housekeeping, event planning, and how to deliver excellent customer service. The business side is just as important: marketing, finance, human resources, and how to manage a team in a fast-paced environment.

How competitive is UCC's programme?

Entry into this degree is competitive, which means you will need a strong WASSCE result to be offered a place. The same programme at KNUST and the University of Ghana is even more competitive, so your chances of admission at University of Cape Coast may be relatively better while still being a respectable challenge. The best way to know if you qualify is to check your grades against the published entry requirements.

Where the degree can take you

Graduates of hospitality management often start in roles such as front office supervisor, restaurant manager, event coordinator, or travel consultant. With experience, they move into general management of hotels, resorts, or catering companies. The skills you build — communication, organization, leadership, and financial awareness — are valuable in any customer-facing business.
