New Azmont Scholarship Program for 2017/2018
(April 17, 2017) Second year in a row, Azmont Investments is pleased to announce the Azmont Scholarship Program and will award up to 5 scholarships covering 100% of tuition fee for three-years of Bachelor degree academic studies within International Hospitality and Management of the Faculty of Culture and Tourism of the UDG Montenegro. These International Hospitality Studies at UDG are done according to Vatel franchise; the Vatel international hotel and management school was awarded Best Hotel School in 2016.
‘’Our intention is to support primarily students from Boka Bay area, with focus on Herceg Novi. Still, the Scholarship Program is open for students from whole Montenegro. We are very proud of the first generation of students that have enrolled the studies last year and already around 30 of them are involved in international practice.’’, stated Adrijana Husic, Corporate Communications and CSR Manager.
Establishment of the International Hospitality and Management of the Faculty of Culture and Tourism of the University of Donja Gorica is beneficial to the whole tourism industry as it provides a long term investment into education and supports development of human resources. Furthermore, this prestigious program seeks to assist educational and hospitality development in Montenegro, by preparing the next generation to build their own future in the international tourism and hospitality industry.
‘’One of the most important differentiators when talking about these studies is practical work done beside lectures and exams. Throughout the studies, students learn how to implement acquired theoretical knowledge into practice. Besides, practice that is done in well-known hospitality institutions in Montenegro, our students will go to USA, Spain, Estonia and Greece and will gain additional knowledge and skills needed in high-end hospitality.’’, added Husic.
Established partnership between Azmont Investments, UDG and Vatel in 2016, has brought Vatel international training based on balance between theory and practice to Montenegro. This Montenegrin and European double-degree program will benefit to students who intent to work in the hospitality industry. Vatel and UDG aim to train future operational and executive managers up to the international hospitality standards that can be implemented not only in the Montenegrin but also in the international hospitality industry. Upon completion of the academic studies, Bachelor and/or Master’s program, scholars will receive a national and EU diploma from this International school.
Up to 5 scholarships covering 100% of tuition fee may be awarded and these scholarships apply only for the International Hospitality and Management of the Faculty of Culture and Tourism of the University of Donja Gorica.
