DIPLOMA AND HIGHER DIPLOMA IN INTERNATIONAL HOTEL MANAGEMENT

Programme Description

For High School Graduates, HIM offers a Diploma or Higher Diploma Programme in International Hotel Management. After successful completion of the Higher Diploma, students can progress into the BA Degree and then the MA Degree programme.
The programmes centre around the three key management areas which are essential in the hospitality industry:

Human Resource Management
Finance
Marketing

HIM programmes also include some practical subjects such as Food and Beverage Service and Front Office. Since our students are prepared and trained for high-end management positions, we do not, like similar Swiss institutions, include a food production practical (kitchen) or housekeeping practical. These subjects are covered in theoretical lessons in the classroom including many demonstrations.
