Period of the internship program

 

As part of the curriculum, our students are required to do two Practical Internships that one must be done abroad.  The Internship is a large part of the faculty program. It is NOT just a time to fulfill. It is a period where the student is committed to apply the gained knowledge during the academic year. It is a challenge to overcome where he or she has to meet the workforce environment, customer services and properties standards in order to gain new concept and shows bright ideas. A successful internship achieves the development of students management skills and creativity.

 

Training period is for five month or for a minimum of one thousand hours.

 

The first internship is done in the Food & Beverage domain.  It should be in a renowned hotel or restaurant where the student passes to all related departments applying the gained knowledge during the first part of the first academic year.
