Requirements
Admission
The formal requirement for admission to the Master in International Tourism is a Bachelor’s degree in Economics, Business Administration, Communication Sciences, Political Science and International Relations, Transportation Science, Social Sciences, Language and Literature, Tourism, or other related fields, granted by a recognized university.
To guarantee the optimal ratio between learners and the Master in International Tourism faculty, the places offered are limited. Therefore, selection can be affected on the basis of academic results. Admissions will be treated on a case-by-case basis.
For Bachelor's degrees obtained in Switzerland, USI accepts Bachelor's degrees from recognized Swiss Higher Education Institutions (Universities and Universities of Applied Sciences) listed by Swissuniversities.
Applicants with a Bachelor’s degree granted by a recognized University of Applied Sciences – in Switzerland the so-called ’Fachhochschule’ (FH) – may be admitted.
In this case, candidates need to obtain 30 additional ECTS during the Master in International Tourism in elective courses that they can freely choose from all Master level courses in English offered at USI.
Language
Admission to English-language graduate-level (Master) programmes at USI requires a good command, or advanced knowledge, of the English idiom. Non-English native speakers applying for the Master, or whose previous degree was obtained in another language than English, are required to provide an internationally acknowledged language certificate equal to the B2 level (IELTS 5.5), as defined by the Common European Framework of Reference for language learning (CEFR), or equivalent (e.g. TOEFL, IELTS, etc.).
Students admitted on the above-mentioned condition must achieve a C1 (IELTS 7.0) competence in English within the maximum time required to obtain the Master's degree. The level can be certified either by attending a language course offered at USI during the Fall and Spring semester, and by taking the final exam, or by providing an internationally acknowledged language certificate.
