The department of Hospitality and Event Management in PES has been successfully moulding hospitality ready students since its inception in 1994. With years of experience, a continuously updated curriculum, dedicated set of faculty, world class infrastructure, a disciplined way of life and a multi-cultural peer group we have an excellent eco-system for the holistic development of the student to a truly professional hospitality graduate.
Yet as we focus on providing education that equips the student to compete in the real world, differentiation is a great advantage. To this effect we have taken the strategic decision of adopting a new course and curriculum that gives a dual speciation of hotel and event management. Event Management which was earlier seen as a part of hotel management has evolved as a specialized profession with a tremendous scope of employment as well as enterprise.
The Bachelor of Business Administration in Hospitality and Event Management at PES University has an eclectic offering of management concepts, hospitality and event subjects and develops specialized technical competencies aligned with real time experimental learning. The program comprises of core aspects of hospitality and events in addition to soft skills, international certifications and business acumen.
