They can be found in fields as diverse as tourism, event planning, media, luxury lifestyle management, and aviation. In some cases, our graduates move on to a business school or an Institute of Political Science for additional training. Similarly, graduates from those institutions add to their training by enrolling in one of our master’s programs (if they have already studied an Asian language) or a university diploma (for beginners).

Students who decide to do a PhD can work in higher education and research.
