The communication tools used by the lecturers include discussion forums, chats, emails, breakout sessions, whiteboards, and audio and video sharing to communicate and work together. As a final step, sessions usually include an exercise or assessment to measure the learning.

The online methodology in every class is live and interactive. Teaching methods and techniques are used creatively to develop an engaging and motivating learning experience. There is frequent interaction with the student interaction to foster and maintain engagement and promote learning.

The online learning methodology is practical, with all the class activities and online learning methods, e-content and materials used also being put into practice in the different assessments (self-assessments, tests and practical assignments), capstone project and class activities.

The online methodology is structured as a combination of synchronous or real-time activities (such as online platform chats, breakout rooms/sessions, virtual pooling, virtual whiteboard, etc.) and asynchronous or on-demand activities, which students can do whenever suits them best in terms of their preferences and other commitments (such as emails, discussion forum platforms, online platform meetings, recorded lectures via links, virtual coffee and conversation sessions, etc.).

FAQs about the Online F&B Management Master

The F&B Manager is responsible for organizing and managing Food and Beverage services in the HoReCa sector, ensuring the quality of food and drink products. They handle cost control, personnel management, maintaining hygiene and food safety standards, and promoting marketing strategies. Additionally, they monitor operational efficiency and contribute to the innovation and sustainability of business processes.

On average, employees in the Food and Beverage industry earn an annual salary of around 38,000 euros gross.

The food trade and distribution sector, as well as products for the HoReCa channel, require highly specialized professionals with an in-depth knowledge of the market, its competitive context, consumers, and products. For this reason, a specialized master’s degree is the best choice to enter the Food & Beverage industry without prior experience or to stay updated on the latest innovations and technologies.

This is the online mode of the master’s program, conducted in English. If you prefer another option, we also offer the On-campus Master in Food and Beverage Management, entirely taught in English at our campus in Rome. In both formats, we guarantee the same level of excellence and quality.

This mode is taught online in English, but we also offer an Italian version of the International Master in Food and Beverage Management Online.
