A PATH WITH UNLIMITED OPPORTUNITIES
Switzerland is rightfully considered the birthplace of the hotel business. It was in this country that the first 5-star hotels appeared and service standards that everyone follows today were formed. In addition, the first universities training professional hoteliers appeared in Switzerland. According to statistics, more than 80% of all top managers in the hospitality industry hold Swiss diplomas. Therefore, education in hotel and tourism management obtained in Switzerland is undoubtedly the best.
IHTTI is one of the most authoritative schools of hotel management in Switzerland. For more than 20 years, they have been preparing students for managerial work in the international hospitality and tourism industry. IHTTI graduates hold leading positions in companies around the world.
IHTTI School is located in the very center of the ancient university city of Neuchâtel on the shores of the lake of the same name, an hour's drive from Geneva. The city has everything needed for study, relaxation, sports, and entertainment.
The intensive academic program and cooperation with one of the leading universities in the UK, Bournemouth University, allow students to obtain a full higher education and two international qualifications in just three years of study. For over ten years, IHTTI students have been receiving a British bachelor's degree, which significantly expands their employment opportunities.
A boundless world of opportunities opens up before IHTTI school graduates. In addition to traditional hotel management, they can build careers in the restaurant business, resort and spa industries, organize events and conferences, work for cruise companies, airlines, consulting firms, etc. Large international hotel chains such as Ritz-Carlton, Hilton, Mariott, Intercontinental, and others hold recruiting events at the school to find future employees. And a special career center at IHTTI helps students in their job search.
The main advantage of IHTTI is the inseparable connection between theory and practice. The academic year consists of an academic semester and a mandatory semester of paid internship in Switzerland or abroad. At the same time, interns in Switzerland are guaranteed a salary of at least 2,000 Swiss francs per month (about $1,600).
IHTTI is a member of the Swiss Association of Hotel Schools (ASEH) and is accredited by many Swiss and international organizations, including: the American Hotel Association HCIMA, the International Association of Scientific Experts in Tourism (AIEST), and others.
At first glance, studying in Switzerland may seem very expensive, but considering that the cost of study includes accommodation and meals, and each course includes a six-month paid internship, the price no longer seems too high.
What requirements are placed on applicants to Swiss hospitality schools? First, knowledge of English at the passing score level of TOEFL, IELTS. Second, having a secondary school certificate. The applicant for the pre-diploma and bachelor's degree program must be 17.5 years old. Third, availability of funds to pay for the program. And finally, document processing must be started in advance – 4 to 6 months before the start of the program (study start is possible twice a year: in early September and February.) This is due to the long wait for a long-term Swiss student visa.
All interested parties can meet with a representative of IHTTI School at a seminar that will take place in Kyiv on September 27 at 15:00 at the Premier Palace Hotel. As well as at regional seminars in Kharkiv, Dnepropetrovsk, and Donetsk. Pre-registration is required by phone: (044) 461-90-50.
