In the Broad Discipline programme, students are introduced to university study and participate in subjects such as Freshman Seminar, Leadership and Intra-personal Development. They are required to complete a Healthy Lifestyle subject and some Language and Communication Requirement (LCR) subjects. They also study some introductory subjects in hotel and tourism management to help them to choose a Major in their second year of study.

After completing their first year in the Broad Discipline programme, students must choose a Major programme of study, either the BSc (Hons) in Hotel Management or the BSc(Hons) in Tourism and Events Management. The decision to admit a student to either programme in Year Two will be made by the School based on the student's academic performance in Year One and/or interview results.

Students in the BSc(Hons) in Hotel Management programme begin to take subjects in the hotel and food and beverage management area and learn the basics of hotel and food and beverage operations in Year Two. They also start to take subjects in their chosen Minor or free Electives. In Year Three, students begin to take advanced subjects in hotel and food and beverage management and finish the subjects in their chosen Career Track, Minor and/or Free Electives. Subjects during this year begin to focus more on case studies and applications in Hotel Management. In Year Four, students complete all of the advanced subjects in hotel and food and beverage management. Depending on their selection, they also either begin to work on their Thesis or enrol in a Capstone Subject. During their studies, students must complete 6 months or 960 hours of cumulative work experience to fulfil the Work-Integrated Education requirement.
