IoH confirms accreditation for University of Wolverhampton

The IoH has awarded accreditation for five years to the University of Wolverhampton for their undergraduate degree programmes in international hospitality management, tourism management, and their postgraduate degree programme in international tourism and hospitality management.

These exciting and innovative programmes are designed to develop practical and management skills as well as analytical and evaluation skills that can be applied to real-world situations and which are vital to modern organisations in the global hospitality and tourism industries. The courses aim to develop employability skills through learning experiences, focusing on four pillars that underpin the programmes: innovation and enterprise, sustainability, responsibility and digital.

• the activity-based, enquiry-led, student-centred learning curricula at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
