Programs

The curriculum of RITH is designed in accordance with international standards to guarantee the recognition of the education by the international tourism industry and at the same time it is also tailored to meet specific needs of Bhutanese. Further, it is also kept open and flexible to accommodate add-ons and new developments over the period in the future.

The regular programme will span two years which will be broken into four terms with the first two terms being the foundation terms followed by another two terms of specialization. Students graduating from the RITH will get an internationally acknowledged diploma certificate which will enable them to look for employment within Bhutan and abroad.

The curriculum of the RITH is strongly focused on the balance between theory and practical training. Practical training enhances the students’ performance as theoretical knowledge is complemented by practical knowledge and hands-on experience. The uniqueness of the hospitality education is that it craves not only knowledge but also technical skills that demand style and precision which will be the bedrock of building professionals in the area.

At the RITH, the practical training in food production, restaurant services, reception and housekeeping is interwoven with theoretical lessons. Students will have the opportunity to practice their knowledge in institute’s 4-star hotel and a new banqueting facility which will be of immense help to bridge the gap between abstract knowledge and reality. Besides, students will have a system where one of meals will be served by students to themselves on a shift basis which will also require students to serve in the manner and style as per the international standard. This will further boost their practical skills and help to deliver technical skills without hindrances.
