Our Environment perspective The hotel and tourism industry depends on the health of the natural environment for its success. Therefore, sustainable environmental practices do not only determine the success of tomorrow's businesses but the fate of the industry itself. Alpine faculty incorporate environmental concerns in operations and management courses, and environment-friendly installations on campus are positive proof for students that these are feasible and effective for hotel operations. Our Aim To welcome students who are mature, resourceful, hard working and committed to their chosen career. To provide our students with first quality education at the Swiss Diploma, undergraduate and postgraduate level (BA(Hons) and Master’s degrees). To help our students obtain transferable skills which will assist them on both personal and academic levels. To offer our students great career opportunities by assisting them in finding suitable industry placements (internships) which are an integral part of their studies. To ensure that upon graduation Alpine students are very well prepared to start their career with confidence and a positive and professional attitude.
