The World Cup event is set to take place from 20 November to 18 December 2022.

The CUT Hospitality Management programme, which forms part of the Faculty of Management Sciences, is vast and structured to train and equip students with skills that will enhance their speciality as banqueting managers, hoteliers, guesthouse managers, restaurant managers, chefs, servers, bartenders, event managers and front officers to name a few.

Asked about the duo, Dr Dalene Crowther, acting Head of the Department of Hospitality Management said, “having to witness our students going international and getting the exposure of learning new ways, new people, different cultures and beliefs, moreover, the thought of them bringing back the experience to their peers is amazing. I am super proud of them, and I know they will raise our flag high above their peers and make us proud. I wish them a safe journey and the best experiences there in Qatar,” she said.
