To prepare our graduates for the multi-cultural environment of the hospitality industry, LRG-UAS now offers a semester abroad option. This new structure allows our students to spend one semester studying in a dynamic university environment in Europe, Australia or the USA. This program variation can be done in one of five reputed business schools from the Laureate International University network.
Academic Details
The study abroad option takes place in semester 3 or 4 of the Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management programme with the specialisation in International Hospitality Management or Food, Beverage and Operations Management. During the semester abroad, students will follow courses that are comparable to the LRG-UAS programme, for the same number of European Credit Transfer System credits. The courses are taught in English and foreign language modules are available in some locations.
