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 University of Derby (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
IHTTI students on the main programme graduate with three well-recognised qualifications: The Swiss Higher Diploma in Hotel Management and the British BA (Hons) Degree in International Hospitality and Tourism Management. The BA is awarded by the University of Derby, one of the UK’s top professional universities.

Optionally, IHTTI students can also qualify with the AH&LA, Amercian Hotel and Lodging Association Diploma

4. Shorter Duration
The usual duration of BA Degree programmes in Swiss hotel management schools varies between 5 to 6 academic semesters plus 2 to 3 internships. The BA (Hons) Degree programmes at IHTTI are structured in a more intense way. This allows you to complete two well recognised qualifications in only 4 academic semesters plus 2 internships resulting in considerable cost savings and an earlier start in your career.
