The Macao Institute for Tourism Studies (IFTM) said in a statement yesterday that it has recently signed an Articulation Agreement with leading Swiss institutions Les Roches Global Hospitality Education (Les Roches) and Glion Institute of Higher Education (GIHE) to provide a “top-up” study plan to IFTM’s Bachelor of Science in Hotel Management students following a “3+1” learning model.
The statement noted that the agreement enables IFTM and the two institutions to collaborate and “enrich” students’ academic journey. According to the statement, students completing the first three years at IFTM and the stipulated requirements of the two institutions in any of their campuses (Switzerland, Spain or the UK) can get a bachelor’s degree awarded by IFTM and Les Roches or GIHE.
There are currently four IFTM students undertaking the dual programme in Les Roches’ campus in Spain in the Academic Year 2022/2023.
The statement noted that IFTM recently invited Hospitality Consultant and Alumni Ambassador Kavi Khemlani and Regional Admissions Manager Veronica Yin (尹尚) to provide briefing sessions on the dual programme to students. Many students, the statement said, showed interest in the programme after each session.
GIHE and Les Roches are under Sommet Education group and are respectively ranked fourth and fifth in the QS World University Rankings by Subjects 2022 for “Hospitality and Leisure Management”, according to the statement.
