Most people in Malta have a connection to the Institute of Tourism Studies (ITS) without even realising it. Since opening its doors in 1987, ITS has helped build the country’s hospitality sector, with a 93% graduate employability rate and nearly 8,000 graduates over the past decade. Among the most popular courses are the Bachelor in Culinary Arts, delivered in partnership with Institut Lyfe in France and featuring a semester abroad, and the Bachelor in International Hospitality Management, co-developed with Finland’s Haaga-Helia University. Students can also pursue careers in Events Management, Food & Beverage, Rooms Division and Travel & Tourism, while professionals already working in the industry can further their studies through the part-time online MBA in International Hospitality Management. With many students securing employment before completing their studies, ITS continues to play a leading role in preparing the next generation of tourism professionals.
