IHTTI is now part of SHMS
In July 2019, we welcomed IHTTI’s talented students and faculty as guests to our Leysin and Caux campuses. Finally, in 2021, IHTTI became family as we integrated their world-renowned design courses into the validated degree programs at SHMS.
The legacy and heritage of IHTTI remain here, and we are proud to combine our expertise under one roof now at SHMS.
