2A.2 Account of the education<br />
Profile for Bachelor‟s of Business Administration<br />
Courses in the Higher Economic Education sector of Higher Professional Education should be<br />
clearly identifiable, for both students and the industry. All Dutch Universities that offer courses<br />
in Bachelor‟s of Business Administration (BBA), have formulated a profile of domain<br />
competences, which describes the aspects they have in common.<br />
Dutch Hotel <strong>Management</strong> Profile<br />
In the Netherlands <strong>Stenden</strong> university, Hotel School <strong>The</strong> Hague, the School for Hotel<br />
<strong>Management</strong> Maastricht, <strong>The</strong> Nederlandse Hogeschool voor Toerisme en Vrijetijdskunde (Breda)<br />
and the Saxion Hogeschool IJsselland (Deventer/Apeldoorn) are the universities offering Hotel<br />
<strong>Management</strong> programmes.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se Universities elaborated the domain competences in a national Professional Competence<br />
Profile for Hotel <strong>Management</strong> (2004). This profile consists of a professional profile which gives a<br />
description of the professional or core tasks of the professional worker, and a competence<br />
profile in which the professional tasks have been translated into competences. Competences<br />
describe the knowledge, insight, skills, and professional attitude students should have acquired<br />
by the end of their studies to be adequately prepared for the professions they have been trained<br />
to perform. <strong>The</strong>refore, competences are directional for the way the educational programme is to<br />
be organised.<br />
<strong>Stenden</strong> university – Hotel <strong>Management</strong> Competence Profile<br />
IHM has developed her own educational competence profile, by adding two competences to the<br />
national profile. <strong>The</strong>se competences are derived from the educational concept and the mission<br />
of <strong>Stenden</strong> university and concern the intercultural and the value driven competences. <strong>The</strong><br />
competence profile is directional for the development of the educational programme.<br />
Below, you will find a short description of the competences. Please refer to the curriculum<br />
“Serving Success” for an extensive explanation and rationale, available at the educational<br />
consultant of our Education.<br />
