This flexibility is especially valuable for professionals in hospitality, where shifts, events, and peak seasons can be unpredictable. Whether you run a team, supervise operations, or manage projects, your learning adapts to you—not the other way around.

Open-Book Assessments that Reflect Real Work
Instead of traditional question-and-answer exams, the programme uses open-book assessments. This approach mirrors how leaders make decisions in the real world—by researching, analysing, evaluating options, and crafting evidence-based recommendations.

What This MBA Means for Your Career in Nigeria
Nigeria’s hospitality and experience economy is poised for growth, driven by expanding business travel, conferences and exhibitions, lifestyle and leisure markets, and a rising middle class. With competencies in strategy, service design, data-informed decision-making, and sustainability, you can lead high-performing teams across hotels, resorts, serviced apartments, restaurants, and event venues—delivering exceptional guest experiences that build brand loyalty and revenue.
The programme’s globally applicable frameworks prepare you to engage with international partners, manage brand standards, and scale operations across cities and regions.
