Through our excellent network of contacts in the industry and the reputation of IMI, our Internships Team will help you to find suitable and challenging positions, either in Switzerland or abroad.
An internship is a period of practical training which allows you to put into practice what has been learnt during the academic semester. IMI accepts internships of minimum 22 weeks duration and in some programmes the internship is an integral part of the course. Please refer to the section on Programmes for more information about whether the internship is compulsory or optional.

Twice yearly, IMI welcomes some of the most prestigious hospitality employers to our campus in Kastanienbaum. These industry leaders visit IMI to lecture, recruit and guide our students through all aspects of employment in the field of hospitality and beyond. Due to these excellent industry contacts, students are given the opportunity to connect and network with future employers as well as secure internship, graduate placements and jobs whilst still on campus.

There is absolutely no PSW but the Universities and institutions does encourage and provide opportunities for the students can go for internships
