Are Swiss Hotel School Degrees Recognized?

Recognition depends on the qualification, its awarding institution and where you want to use it.

Editorial guide · Updated 5 October 2026 · Editorial approach & affiliation

01

Name the award precisely

Ask what appears on the diploma, who awards it, and whether a school certificate accompanies a university degree. A partnership logo does not answer those questions.

02

Ask the receiving authority

For further study, the receiving university decides admission. For a regulated profession, consult the relevant authority in the destination country. An employer’s acceptance is a different decision again.

03

Keep the evidence

Save the programme specification, transcript framework and current accreditation information. A recognition check should be repeated if the award or partnership changes before you enrol.
