Diploma of Technology in Hospitality and Tourism Management (Hotel Catering and Food Business Marketing)

The Diploma of Technology in Hospitality and Tourism Management at Tamale Technical University prepares you for work in hotels, restaurants, tourism, and food business. You will learn practical skills that are useful across the hospitality industry. This is a less competitive programme, meaning you have a good chance of getting a place if you meet the general requirements.

What this programme covers

Programmes of this kind usually combine hospitality management with tourism and catering. You can expect to study hotel operations, food and beverage service, catering practices, and how food businesses market themselves. Many courses also include customer care, event organisation, and basic business management, so you gain a broad set of skills for working in hotels, restaurants, travel companies, or your own food venture.

How competitive entry is

This diploma is in the less competitive band. That means getting a place is generally easier than for more competitive programmes at the university. Still, you need to meet the entry requirements and have strong WASSCE grades in the relevant subjects. There is no set aggregate cut-off published here, so you should confirm your qualification with the university's admissions office.

Where this qualification can take you

Graduates of hospitality and tourism management commonly work in hotels, lodges, restaurants, event planning companies, and tourist attractions. With the specialisation in catering and food business marketing, you could also work in catering services, food product marketing, or run your own food-related business. The diploma prepares you for entry-level supervisory roles as well as for further study in the field.
