Hospitality lives where people connect. As a business school with a Swiss hospitality legacy, our three learning pillars are designed to prepare students for lifelong success.
A team-focused atmosphere provides students with the cultural awareness, emotional intelligence, and leadership skills needed to succeed anywhere people come together.
Prestigious partnerships and placements ensure students are world ready by sharpening their business, problem-solving, and decision-making skills in real-world environments.
With an emphasis on cultural and social responsibility, adaptability, and empathy, HIM students are prepared to anticipate customer needs and motivations — essential skills for any business environment.
