An Exciting Career

Meeting the Selection Criteria

In the World's Fastest Growing Industry!

There is no greater joy for EAHM than to be recognised by its students as they begin their professional careers. With valued roles in prestigious organisations, EAHM’s graduates continue to build their careers and meet their personal goals. Here is what some of them had to say: Giselle Hahn Hospitality Consultant - Quality and Training Swiss, Postgraduate Class of 2012 Quite a few universities in Dubai and around the United Arab Emirates offer a variety of Postgraduate programmes, many of which are affiliated with prestigious European and North American schools.

However, when it comes to the best hospitality Postgraduate and Undergraduate programmes, The Emirates Academy of Hospitality Management (EAHM) sets the standard for excellence.

The tipping point for my decision to apply to EAHM was the fact that the university is affiliated with the premier hospitality provider in the Middle East – the Jumeirah Group.

Having graduated with the Master of Science in International Hospitality Management from EAHM, I feel well prepared to continue my career in hospitality and I am looking forward to the vast opportunities lying ahead of me.

Bernd Knaier Assistant Executive Housekeeper - Raffles Beijing Hotel German, Undergraduate Class of 2011 My studies at The Emirates Academy of Hospitality Management (EAHM) were extremely valuable due to the high level of education and the industry connections I was able to establish over the past few years. The ideal conditions of the school facilities and the attractive campus surroundings paired with the constantly growing touristic environment of Dubai made my experience at EAHM worthwhile.

The university's close links with Jumeirah and other international hotel chains, such as Kempinski, Marriott, Raffles, Hyatt and Hilton, enhanced the quality of our internships.

Success Stories

EAHM

Naser Mohamed Executive Housekeeper, Jumeirah Zabeel Saray Emirati, Undergraduate Class of 2009 While studying to become a hotelier, I discovered that EAHM was more than just a place to get an education — it was a second home. At EAHM, there were great people who supported me to realise my dreams and goals, but really the beauty of my education was that I was having these wonderful experiences both as a part-time student in the classroom Sunday through Thursday, and within a real work environment at the hotels, being a full-time employee.

My passion for learning is reflected in the quality of my work and day to day operation at the hotel.

One thing I have learnt from EAHM is that you cannot stop after your first failure and that is something that professors here instilled in me. I was able to take all those different things I have learnt from EAHM and put it all into play at Jumeirah Zabeel Saray, and I feel like I have just started.

One of the important things that EAHM teaches is critical thinking — thinking outside the box, pushing the envelope and not doing things because everybody else does them, Today I consider myself to be the first successful Emirati Executive Housekeeper to have graduated from EAHM.
