Что на самом деле ищут приёмные комиссии
За пределами формального списка
Service orientation demonstrated through real experience — work in hospitality, events, tourism, retail, or customer service environments. Programs look for this explicitly. A summer working in a hotel or restaurant is relevant and valued.
For Swiss and other elite hotel school programs: personal presentation, communication skills, and genuine passion for hospitality — these programs assess personality and service disposition alongside academic performance.
Language skills — many European tourism programs expect at least two European languages; French or German alongside English is an advantage for Swiss and French programs.
