Stenden hotel management school
Welcome
Dear future Hoteliers,
In order to start at StendenHMS we recommend you to attend the Study Start Week (SSW). The Study Start Week will be organized from the 26th of January until the 5th of February, excluding weekends (no scheduled activities on Saturdays and Sundays). In these 2 weeks you will receive a full introduction to the schools’ curriculum and do different games like Escape Rooms, workshops and masterclasses guided by student associations and industry professionals. And what’s best, you are going to do these fun things together with your “Homegroup”, who are going to be your classmates for the first period of your studies.
Furthermore, you and your group mates will have two well experienced and motivated students as hosts, who will guide you through your onboarding period, and help you during your first few months at Stenden HMS. The fitting day of the suits is on Monday the 25th of January and mandatory. Register for your fitting day via this link. We cannot wait to welcome you at Stenden Hotel Management School!
