It’s not only a website about the Hotel Management School (HMS), it has a broader approach; it is an ‘online meeting place’ for HMS and the industry.
This perfectly fits the philosophy of Hotel Management School NHL Stenden: giving the hospitality industry a major role in our study programmes. Because working closely together is the only way we can educate Game Changers who are ready for the hospitality industry of tomorrow.
In 1987 we were the third Hotel Management School in the Netherlands. A newcomer that dared to offer a different voice in the hospitality landscape, challenging the established order. After 35 years we are still that progressive and innovative Hotel Management School, with a clear vision on the future while valuing our heritage. With over 3,000 students from more than 50 countries and 12,000 alumni worldwide, we are the largest and most internationally orientated hotel management school in Europe.
Our clear vision and DNA is described in our Manifesto.
Our Grand Tour offers students the unique opportunity to follow parts of their education at one of our international sites: in South Africa, Thailand, Indonesia, Aruba or Italy.
With our unique educational concept ‘Design Based Education’, we place the industry at the heart of our learning programme. Our students work on real life challenges from the industry, in an interactive and inspiring learning environment.
The study programmes are suitable for students at all levels: from recent high school graduates to experienced professionals. Our Associate Degree, Bachelor Degree and Master Degree can be followed full time, part time or flexibly (work & study).
“Our students are future proof game changers in the hospitality industry and beyond”

Academy Director Hotel Management School NHL Stenden
