Course description
Master of International Business in Hotel, Resort & Wellness Management
With this Industry-accredited Master degree, students learn to manage the 360 degrees of Corporate Wellness, built on the three pillars of Consumer Insight, Financial Decision Taking and Workforce Development. The Program's curriculum is continually updated based on direct input and feedback from the industry's top brands.
The SHMS Leysin Campus is uniquely equipped with student-managed outlets. Students custom-design and implement their own business projects, for which they take ownership and responsibility under the guidance of an experienced industry professional. By analyzing a current situation and identifying viable improvements and solutions, students practice not only much-coveted managerial skills and leadership, but project themselves into the role of future entrepreneurs and thereby gain a deep understanding of the complexity of succeeding in today's competitive environment.
As part of this Program, students will be required to complete a 4-6 month industry internship, which allows for the practical application of their education as well as the perfect opportunity to grow their professional network.
