Bachelor in Hospitality Management

Hospitality Management is a bachelor's programme taught in English at Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II, in Napoli, Italy. This field prepares students to manage businesses and services within the hospitality and tourism industry, including hotels, restaurants, resorts, and events. Typical coursework includes hospitality operations, service management, hotel and restaurant finance, marketing for hospitality businesses, and human resource management specific to service industries, along with subjects addressing customer experience and the day-to-day running of hospitality establishments. Students often study case examples drawn from the hospitality sector, learning how businesses in this industry balance service quality, cost management, and customer satisfaction. Graduates of hospitality management programmes typically move into roles within hotels, resorts, restaurants, and event management companies, working in areas such as front-office and guest services, food and beverage management, revenue management, and marketing. Common positions include hotel operations manager, guest relations coordinator, event manager, and roles within hospitality consulting or corporate management for larger hospitality groups. As tourism and hospitality remain significant contributors to many economies, graduates find opportunities both domestically in Italy and internationally, given the global nature of the hospitality industry and the transferability of the management skills the degree builds. The programme runs for three years and is delivered entirely in English, making it accessible to international students interested in hospitality and tourism careers. Admission is by entrance examination, and a secondary school diploma is required to apply. This selective process is common for English-taught programmes at Italian universities, helping ensure that incoming students have the academic preparation needed for a demanding, English-medium curriculum in a service-oriented field.
