Why Study Hotel Management in Cyprus?

That's a question that hardly needs to be asked! 340 days of sunshine a year...azure seas which lap the shores...mile upon mile of sun-kissed beaches.. It's no surprise that Cyprus is often described as "paradise on earth" and as a consequence it's a regular holiday destination for visitors from all over the world - and they need places to stay...

Our courses here at MKC City College aim to provide as varied a slice of the hospitality business as possible. So not only do you get to study your chosen subject in the classroom but you'll also have the opportunity to practice those skills you've acquired on the job via our placement schemes and earn some pocket money.

Cyprus can give you experience in all kinds of lodging establishments, from a modest family-run guest house to the full blown 5* luxury resort and you can even try out a typical Cypriot way of life with the agro tourism project - all are available in the Larnaca area.
We have links with the American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA) and the Hotel & Catering International Management Association (HCIMA) in the UK. Our students have participated in their events.
We also have firm connections with Eurotoques and with Cyprus' accession to the EU there will be an increasing dialogue with their organization.
