Adv. Diploma Spa Management with Hospitality

Future Prospects

The programme provides a solid foundation from which you may pursue a career within spa management in the Singapore, UK or abroad, working in health hydros, the leisure industry, resorts and hotels. The programme may also be used to gain entry into postgraduate courses for which a business and management qualification is sought.

Why study this subject?

The spa industry has witnessed substantial growth in the last decade and the spa concept has become a significant part of the dynamic hospitality and leisure industry, an industry which is dynamic and diverse. Spas, hotels, health resorts and hydros have benefited as consumers have responded to the increased levels of stress in everyday life.

As the sector grows, there is an increased demand for qualified staff to manage such facilities. The course is designed to develop supervisory and management skills relevant to the management of spa facilities in the context of a hotel/resort spa. The course focuses on the development of cognitive, leadership, interpersonal and social skills needed to perform effectively in management in the service sector.

What will you study?

The first year of the course introduces students to the concept of the spa and the functions of the hospitality industry and the range of activities that come under the umbrella of those titles. The first year also introduces students to the concepts and models of effective management practice.

The second year provides an analysis of the service encounter in the context of the business service environment, the role of marketing and financial management and the importance of managing human resources.
