Internships are very important in the BSc in Hospitality Management (BSc HM) curriculum, where students are given practical exposure to real-world hospitality operations. Most universities require internships as part of their coursework to ensure that students develop the necessary skills in areas such as hotel management, food and beverage operations, front office services, and event planning. These internships, which could last from several months to one year, expose students to working in reputed hotels, resorts, airlines, or tourism companies while preparing them for leadership roles within the industry.
Skill building apart, an internship develops a connection in the industry and, by default, employability skills. An internship helps the students put theory to practical application in the industry while building problem-solving and decision-making capabilities. Institutions often tie up with prominent hospitality brands for these internships, providing quality exposure to students. In return, this strengthens the resume of a student who goes on to bag job opportunities at the end of his course completion.
