Why do an MBA in hospitality management after a Bachelor's degree?

Have you just earned your Bachelor's degree? Congratulations! You now have a number of options open to you. You can plunge straight into the world of work, or you can continue your studies for a further two years, with an MBA in hotel and restaurant management. In fact, a good proportion of Bachelor's graduates atEcole de Savignac opt for this second option. Here's why.

Continuing your studies with an MBA in hospitality management after your Bachelor's degree: a good idea?

Continuing your studies after a Bachelor's degree may seem like a difficult decision, but it's well worth it! One of the most popular options is to pursue an MBA (Master of Business Administration). With this internationally-oriented training, you can develop advanced management skills and acquire a global vision for business management. This famous credential can also offer many advantages to young graduates on the job market.

An internationally recognized diploma

To begin with, the MBA is a degree recognized for its international dimension. It is generally highly valued abroad, and considered a high-level management diploma.

Indeed, MBA programs in hospitality management are often designed to be globally relevant, with content that covers topics such as cultural diversity and international marketing or tourism.

MBA students also often have the opportunity to go on international placements with foreign companies, in the USA, Gabon or Canada for example, giving them practical experience and an undeniable asset in their careers.

High-level management skills

Considered a top-level degree, the MBA in Hotel and Restaurant Management offers comprehensive, in-depth training in key aspects of hotel management such as finance, accounting, marketing, strategy and more. The professional skills acquired during this program are highly sought-after by employers.

A higher salary

MBA graduates can expect higher salaries than Bachelor's graduates. Depending on the industry and the position held, the salary difference can be significant. On average, an MBA graduate in France earns €61,000 gross per year. Salaries are higher in other countries (€76,000 for recent graduates in the USA, for example), but the French benefits package has to be factored into the equation.

Competitive advantages in the job market

The job market is increasingly competitive, and an MBA can give young graduates a competitive edge. For recruiters, an MBA is a sure bet thanks to the quality of its teaching and the practical experience of its students.

As a result, MBA graduates have access to a wider range of career opportunities.

Some examples of positions and missions:

• Revenue manager
• Executive assistant
• Operations Manager
• Events manager
• Sales Director
• Human resources management
• Hotel manager
• Etc.

Career opportunities may also be more international, as graduates may be considered more competitive for positions abroad. In the medium term, the degree opens the door to management positions.

Benefit from a solid professional network

One of the advantages of an MBA is the opportunity to develop a professional network by making contact with companies and former graduates. This will enable students to create useful professional relationships that can be reinforced during their internships. MBA schools often offer numerous networking opportunities worldwide, both during their studies and after graduation.
