Career-Centric Educational Facilities

UEI Global has developed a well-balanced curriculum, under the academic supervision of Hotelschool The Hague, The Netherlands (one of the Top Three Hotel Schools of the World). The 3 Year Degree program is a Specialized Service Management program rather than a simple hotel management degree. The pedagogy involves relevant and contemporary learning and largely focuses on developing the attitude and skills of the students. The students of UEI Global are confident and possess the relevant knowledge and skill required by the industry.

UEI Global guides students towards a bright future by providing them with just the right blend of knowledge and skills that will increase their demand in the industry. The curriculum is industry relevant, both at the domestic and international level and is based on the principle of ‘entrepreneurial learning’ of hospitality. The program of study encourages use and knowledge of modern equipment in kitchens, restaurants, house-keeping, and front-office departments. The ‘entrepreneurial learning’ reflects the education philosophy that follows working in groups to analyze and solve specific problems and acquiring practical work experience through internships.

The faculty at UEI Global acts as a trainer or a coach, rather than a regular teacher; instead of lecturing, they provide the students with case studies, tasks and assignments, adopt the presentation and research methodology, develop the overall personality, and groom students for a positive go-get attitude to become tomorrow’s leader. More focus is placed on the practice rather than merely graduating or attaining the educational qualification.

UEI Global has been continuously ranked as “Top Hotel Management Institutes of India” by CSR since last 7 years and also been awarded with “National Education Excellence Award

by Brands Academy. With a strong alumni base, there are a lot of students who have touched new highs. Alumni like Prabmeet– Corporate Chef (Nestle), Ripu Daman Handa– Celebrity Chef (Winner Master Chef 2013) are amongst few who have made UEI Global proud.
