What tuition costs
CHF 25,000–38,000 a year. Hospitality schools often include accommodation and meals, which makes comparison with other countries less obvious than the tuition figure suggests.
Can you work
Internships are arranged by the school and paid. Work outside internships is limited for international students.
After graduation
Hospitality graduates usually enter the international market: the UAE, Asia, Europe, cruise and hotel groups.
Safety
One of the highest safety levels in Europe; most campuses are self-contained.
Parents’ questions
Do I need French or German?
