How can I go to Switzerland to study hotel management? What is needed?

Come on, hold your hand, I also majored in business management for my undergraduate degree, the same major as you~~ I hope my experience can help you~~

1. What do you need to learn?

I don’t quite understand this question

2. Can I learn from different majors?

Generally speaking, Swiss hotel management schools offer undergraduate and master's courses. The SHMS master's program that I am familiar with is divided into one-year master's program and two-year master's program. One of the requirements for applying for the one-year master's degree is to have a bachelor's degree in hotel or tourism management. The two-year master's program is the one-year PGD graduate diploma and the one-year master's degree program.

PGD (Postgraduate Diploma) courses generally adopt the model of theoretical study in the first half of the year and paid internship in the second half of the year. The professional directions available for PGD courses are: hotel management, hotel operations management, project management; tourism management. After completing the first year of the PGD course, you will receive a Swiss Institute diploma and can apply to continue studying in a one-year master's program or choose to find a job.

So if your undergraduate degree is not in hotel management, you can apply for SHMS’s two-year master’s degree. But if it’s from other schools, I’m not sure if it’s two years. It seems that basically all Swiss hotel management schools have PGD courses, but the length seems to be different~~

3. What level of English is required? How to take the test? What's the test?

In English, it seems that basically Swiss hotel management schools will accept IELTS or TOEFL, but the Swiss consulate requires IELTS scores when applying for a visa, so it is better to take IELTS.

Each school has different IELTS requirements. For example, the minimum IELTS requirement for SHMS's PGD is 5.0, and the minimum requirement for a two-year master's degree is 6.0. The IELTS requirements for hotel management courses are lower than purely theoretical subjects such as business administration, accounting, or science and engineering. The main reason is that hotel management is a course that combines theory and practice. In the process of practice, theoretical knowledge can be better digested, and language skills are also improved. Continuously improve in practice.

The question of how to take the test is simple. You basically need to register once every half a month. Once you have reviewed, you can just register for the test. If you are worried about your English level, you can consider signing up for an IELTS class~ ~
