Industrial attachment programme

Industrial Attachment is part of students’ educational development. This enables theoretical learning in the classroom to be applied to practical learning situations and encourages application of theory and knowledge in appropriate context. Industrial Attachment applies to all students. Students who are already working may produce a letter from their respective employers to show minimum six months work experience in the relevant industry (subject to Schools approval) for exemption to IA. 

To be eligible for Industrial Attachment a student must have passed a minimum of 4 modules during their course of study. Students who commence an Industrial Attachment and subsequently fail to complete this will not be awarded the Diploma in International Hospitality Management (Mandarin) but will be awarded Certificate in International Hospitality Management (Mandarin) as an Exit award. The Industrial Attachment is considered to be an integral part of the Diploma. In the unlikely event that a student cannot be placed for IA, LSBF will allow the student to complete a 3000 word Project in a maximum of 2 months. 

Where students specifically request they may be granted the option of completing a Project rather than undertake the Industrial Attachment.  The project (3000 words) topic is assigned by the School, students have a maximum of 2 months to complete the project after approval.Students must still meet the same eligibility requirements (4 passes) to take the Project.
