To provide international exposure and magnify the dissemination of knowledge to its Hotel Management Students, Lovely Professional University has undergone a collaboration with Thames Valley University(TVU), UK for the quality of its different programmes in International Hotel Management. A senior academic consultant, Ms. Susanne Baker from TVU, (UK) paid a visit to the Department of Hotel Management of Lovely School of Hospitality of the University. She perceived the feasibilities of concurrence between the two universities for B Sc Hospitality Management (Twinning Programme). After mutual discussions an MOU was signed between the two universities in regards to this.
In this programme, students will be given a chance to undertake a Twinning programme in which they will have two years of studies in India at LPU and the remaining one, or one and a half in TVU, (UK). Appreciating the world class infra-structure, curriculum and pedagogy of LPU Ms. Susanne Baker said : “ As these are of International standards, this tie-up will , eventually , enrich the reservoirs of knowledge of the young scholars at LPU in a better way by actually facing the international atmosphere in the last phase of their programme. Moreover, TVU gives a lot of importance to this co-operation because it reinforces its presence in India significantly. ”
On this occasion the Chancellor of LPU, Sh. Ashok Mittal said : “With an objective to develop and upgrade the quality of training and professional skills for the students of its hotel management programmes, LPU judged it necessary to call upon a partner with an international reputation. For both TVU and LPU increasing the dissemination of significant scholarly advancements to the students is a major goal. We’re delighted to work with Thames Valley University’s Department of Hotel Management Studies to bring this MOU to much wider prospects.”
After having studied several proposals, and finding that TVU has an international standing, LPU thought it necessary to harmonize the Hotel Management programmes on the line of International standards. In fact a good theorist does not necessarily have to be a good hotel manager. It is indispensable for him/her to have excellent professional knowledge. Thus, the collaborative programmes aim to help the students achieve not only the “savoir-faire” (know-how) but also “savoir-être” (develop one's personality) that is so particularly important in this profession, essential for recruitment by the large hotel groups in India and around the world.
