Their intensive curriculum, together with the extended semesters, allows us to offer these highly recognized Swiss and Bristish awards in only 3 academic semesters (plus 2 internships) resulting in a considerable cost saving as well as an earlier start to the students' career. Moreover, their Graduate Career Centre is able to support all students to find suitable positions after their graduation.

IHTTI is committed to providing a Swiss quality learning experience to individuals seeking careers in the international hospitality and tourism industry. The school pursues a 4-pillar approach in developing each individual's potential. This approach focuses on the learner's intellectual attributes, management competencies, operational skills and overall professionalism.

Why IHTTI?

1. Quality Academic Programmes
IHTTI offers programmes that are designed to reflect the School's mission statement by focusing on its renowned 4 pillars. The programmes are blended in a way to capture the best of traditional Swiss hotel management training with UK university thinking, The programmes develop students' intellectual attributes so that they can continue to learn independently throughout their career; their management competencies so that they can manage human and non-human resources effectively; their operational skills so that they can actually do the work their subordinates do; and overall professionalism so that they have the truly polished mark of a Swiss-trained hotel manager.

2. Up-to-Date Programmes
Due to its strong advisory board, close links to the hospitality industry, regular feedback from the alumni and a strong partnership with the Bournemouth University (UK), IHTTI academic programmes are regularly revised. Thus IHTTI ensures that the programmes remain up-to-date and of the highest standards, and that IHTTI graduates will continue to be in high demand after graduation.

3. Double Qualification
Many IHTTI students graduate with two well recognised qualifications: The Swiss Higher Diploma in Hotel Management and the British BA (Hons) Degree in International Hospitality and/or Tourism Management. The BA Degree is awarded by the Bournemouth University, one of UK's top
vocational universities.

4. Shorter Duration
The usual duration of BA Degree programmes in Swiss hotel management schools varies between 4 to 5 academic semesters plus 2 to 3 internships. IHTTI's BA (Hons) Degree programmes are structured in a more intense way: the semesters are longer than in similar institutions and the curriculum more intense. This allows you to complete two well recognised qualifications in only 3 academic semesters plus 2 internships and means considerable cost savings and an earlier start in your career.
