This one-year (12-months) conversion programme provides an opportunity for students who have successfully completed an ordinary (3-year) degree (Level 7 – Irish National Framework of Qualifications) or honours (4-year) degree (Level 8 – Irish National Framework of Qualifications) in a different discipline (for example: Business, Science or Engineering) to attain an honours degree (level 8 – NFQ) in hospitality management equivalent in a further single year of studies.<br><br>The individual modules run in conjunction with existing modules on our degree courses. The offering of the Higher Diploma in Hospitality Management course further develops the learners’ key skills, their strategic ability and introduces learners to the hospitality management discipline. The three-month hospitality industry placement over the summer months forms an integral part of this programme.
