The results of cooperation with the University of Sheffield Hallam from Great Britain
As part of the memorandum of cooperation concluded in 2022 between Kyiv National University of Technology and Design and Sheffield Hallam University (Sheffield Hallam University (SHU), Great Britain), a fruitful scientific and educational cooperation with the Department of Management in the field of tourism and hospitality of the British partner was initiated. A significant achievement of such cooperation was the implementation of the educational and practical online course "Hotel Operations Tactics and Strategy - HOTS" at the department. The first event of academic mobility within the framework of this course took place in the period from 06.02.23 to 04.03.23. During the course, students had the opportunity to study under the British educational program HOTS and compare with students of a British university in the art of hotel management. From among more than 50 participants, the student of BTUR-20 Korenko Kateryna entered the final, in which 5 teams took part.
HOTS is a unique dynamic learning and development experience for the hospitality industry, based on a realistic computer-based exercise that simulates business management, based on student-proposed business strategies, marketing and sales plans, raising finance, operations and human resources, developing a business -plan and implementing it through a series of decisions over a five-year simulation period.
