2B.6.1 Curriculum for the minors at IHM (Year 3)<br />

Next to the two compulsory modules in year three, „Strategic <strong>Hospitality</strong> <strong>Management</strong>‟ and<br />

<strong>Hospitality</strong> Operations <strong>Management</strong>‟, a set of minors are offered. <strong>The</strong>se minors offer the student<br />

the possibility to study a certain subject to which special interest appeals. Instead of partaking<br />

in the minor program a student can also choose to enter into an exchange program at an<br />

Institute for higher education or university abroad.<br />

Every academic year is divided in 4 module periods. If a student completes the minor(s)<br />

successfully the following will be awarded: 2 minors for 15 EC each or one minor for 30 EC. <strong>The</strong><br />

student chooses independently from the minors offered. Enrolling for the minors is done via a<br />

computer program in the month of April preceding the academic year in which the minors will<br />

be taken. <strong>The</strong> student is free their choice of sequence of modules although it is advised to take<br />

the two compulsory modules subsequently. Based on the ultimate enrolments the decision will<br />

be made by the educational institute which minors will be offered. If circumstances so dictate,<br />

the educational institute is entitled to modify individual student planning of the 3 rd year<br />

modules.<br />

Detailed information about the minors and a description of each minor can ben found on the<br />
