About the School
In this age of increasing international competition and
speeding technological developments, the mission of the
Eastern Mediterranean University School of Tourism and
Hospitality Management is to train highly qualified people
for the tourism sector in Turkey and in the Turkish Republic
of Northern Cyprus.
When the School of Tourism and Hospitality Management was
established in 1990, it offered only an A.A.S. degree. In
1992 it started offering a BS degree in Tourism and
Hospitality Management, and in 2002, in recreation
management. The School places special emphasis on computer
and foreign language education.
Considering the needs of the tourism sector, the School also
emphasizes practical training besides theoretical education.
To serve this purpose, the demo kitchen and the Tower
restaurant and Beach Club, the world-wide used computer
programs FIDELIO, GALILEO, and AMADEUS all aim to provide
students with practical knowledge and an education which
matches the needs of the scientific and technological era.
The philosophy of the School is to provide an education
which will enable its students to graduate with the ability
to think, to express themselves with grace and clarity in
writing and speech, to maintain values in relation to their
chosen profession, and to demonstrate confidence in
themselves.
Educational Objectives
With its tourism and hospitality and recreation management
programs, the School of Tourism and Hospitality Management
aims to be the leading educational institution in the
Mediterranean region in preparing managerial candidates that
will generate knowledge, and have the ability and skills to
develop and practice this knowledge accordingly. Another aim
of our school is to prepare our students for the most
promising sector in the future. Aside from raising the level
of educational quality, to reach these aims, an elite group
of faculty has been formed from academics who have major
publications in international journals, and from experienced
academics who have given many years to the sector.
