Short Program

The School’s short vocational training course in Hospitality Management in collaboration with SWISS IM&H is a rigorous one-year program that covers all aspects of hospitality management. Our academic office has designed a business-management oriented curriculum that provides a solid foundation in all core business and management functions, along with broad choices in electives that invite students to explore their specific interests. Students can also choose an optional concentration to focus intensively in a particular area of the hospitality industry. The curriculum is well balanced between theory and practice (industrial training)—and with many opportunities for case studies and group projects, students are cultivating not just the necessary knowledge, but the leadership skills and professionalism that will enable them to assume cutting-edge roles in the next generation of the hospitality industry. The course also consists of a self-oriented (academic office paced) Capstone Project and presentation.

The program is a specialized business and hospitality related operational diploma that covers an intensive one-semester curriculum and one industrial training sessions. This rigorous academic program is based on bachelor level admission requirements that cultivate strategic thought and quantitative skills, a combination essential in midmanagement positions. In addition to fulfilling core requirements, each student chooses his/her own concentration, a series of courses focused on an intended career path. In addition to the academics, the program integrates many professional development opportunities where students are able to meet and interact with industry executives. Exposure to industry executives offers the students the opportunity to establish professional relationships and build an individual network to rely on throughout their careers. 

Starting from the tender age of 17-18, we offer diplomas up to an MBA. All our courses, with the exception of languages are taught in English. This gives the base requirement of an advanced standard of English. Should there be any queries, our academic office is also available for a preliminary overview test of language competences before a place is offered to the students.
