Program

Bachelor of Arts program: 1-year course in Hotel and Tourism Management
(Program entirely in English)

Prerequisite: Diplomas, degrees (2-year Associate's degrees, foundation degree, etc.) in any discipline.
Duration of program: 1 year

The AIM Bachelor of Arts in Hotel and Tourism Management permits the student who already holds a 2-year Associate's degree to enroll in the school and complete the Bachelor program, normally a 3-year course, in one year.

The student may then, if desired, continue on into the 2nd year of the MBA program to complete the training. 
This intense and fast-moving year enables students not only to acquire indispensable skills for their future careers but also guarantees employers a high level of expertise and experience that AIM has championed since its inception.
The simulation of real-life situations, role plays and experiences shared by teachers, graduates of leading schools and trained in prestigious establishments (Marriott, Concorde, Four Seasons, Hyatt...), guarantee our students an education which will be useful not only for successfully evolving within a company but right throughout their careers.
