Dean's welcome

The international reputation of HIM is based on world-class academic programs combined with high quality industry internship programs in Switzerland and abroad. The development of strong management, interpersonal, cultural and language skills provide a distinct advantage to HIM graduates.  Our state of the art facilities are centrally located in the vibrant city of Montreux.

HIM graduates receive not only the internationally recognized Swiss Higher Diploma in International Hotel Management, but are also awarded an American BBA in Hotel, Restaurant and Resort Management and a Swiss BBA (Hons) in Hospitality & Business Management. Our partner Northwood University, a leading Management University in the United States, awards the American degree. Students are also provided with two industry internship placements in either Switzerland or abroad. It is this combination of management training, practical skills and industry recognized work experience that have resulted in our students being in such high demand by the industry.

HIM is one of Switzerland’s finest Hotel Management Schools. I look forward to welcoming you to this unique environment.
