• The curriculum includes a variety of UN-related modules, for instance UN Diplomacy & Tourism and Global UN Tourism Missions & Initiatives, and deliberately embeds the UN's values and global goals throughout the modules. 
• Practice-oriented teaching is carried out via guest lecturers, practical projects with partners, excursions and case discussions. It is both a strength and a priority of HSLU.
• International diversity is integrated in two ways: content-wise and in terms of execution. For example, we address students from all over the world to include a diversity of perspectives and work-related experiences.
• We teach in Madrid, where UN Tourism’s headquarters are located, and in Lucerne at HSLU’s home campus. We can also access a more international panel of lecturers by teaching exclusively in English.
