Combine theory and practice

Our Hotel and Restaurant Management programme in Killarney, Ireland combines practice-oriented coursework with practical experience on the job. In addition to important theoretical knowledge in the areas of Kitchen & Restaurant, Front Office & Rooms Division as well as hotel management, you will gain relevant practical experience during the main tourist season from May to September. After three years, you complete your studies with the Bachelor of Arts degree and are ideally prepared for the challenges of the hotel industry thanks to the optimal combination of practice and theory.


Leverage the Study&Work advantage

The dual study model has proven to be extremely successful – as a perfect blend of theoretical studies and practical experience. In Germany dual programmes have delivered 97% employability for graduates and have shown a 500% growth rate in the past 8 years. Much of this success rests on the high standards we set for our faculty, our active-learning approach and curricula with practical relevance, as well as consistent corporate feedback from our corporate network. In Killarney, Ireland we offer you two possibilities to study in our dual model:


Matching process with IUBH support - Study & Work

We can draw on a well-developed network and cooperate with numerous practice partners, who have free places for our students. Your company will usually pay the tuition fee for you.


Finding a company on your own - On Campus

If you prefer, you can of course also find your partner for the practical employment on your own – worldwide. In this case, you spend the winter months in Killarney to complete your theoretical study modules and are free to choose where to do your practical study parts during the summer time. Please talk to your company about a possible assumption of the tuition fees.
