Sustainable Innovation in Hospitality in practice 

Today’s professionals need to have in-depth knowledge and strategic skills to make a difference and create solutions for complex problems. Guest and customer expectations are changing, our world is constantly changing, and organisations want to play a role in a more sustainable, equal and inclusive society, and digitalisation and robotisation are increasingly relevant. This creates a dynamic environment in many fields and a need for critical and reflective professionals with an expertise in hospitality and service management. With the skills you gain during this master’s, you’ll be the resourceful professional equipped to take on a strategic management position in companies worldwide. 

As a master’s student at a university of applied sciences, you work closely with industry and usually carry out research for a particular company or organisation. This means your thesis question covers a current management issue and the findings and conclusions in your final thesis are supported by both academic theory and practical insights.
