What you will learn
Available in Switzerland, Spain and China, our Professional Development Diploma combines academic study with practical, real-world experience to equip you for success in a leadership position in global hospitality.
If you don't have a background in hospitality, you’ll first enter a two-week Hospitality Immersion Program, where you'll gain essential grounding in the fundamentals of hospitality.
Your semester of academic study features courses like leadership, innovation, services marketing, event management and financial/performance management, as well as an immersive business field trip.
Your PDD program also includes a 6-month professional internship, where you can develop your hospitality know-how and discover the secrets of the best and most innovative brands. You can base your internship in your country of study, or make use of our global industry connections to try a completely new environment.
Upon successful completion of the program, you may be eligible to join the second semester of our Master of Business Administration in Global Hospitality.
