About the course

A four-year, 240 ECTS programme taught in English that combines management, marketing, finance, economics and hotel management with technology and data analytics, with concentrations in Entrepreneurship in the Hospitality Industry or Designing Luxury Experience. Students complete at least 800 hours of paid work experience (co-op), usually in the summers after second and third year.

Entry requirements for Irish students

  • RIT Croatia requires foreign school-leaving certificates to be recognised by the Agency for Science and Higher Education (AZVO/ASHE); under Croatian rules this is done through the national Postani student (NISpVU) system. The university publishes no specific Leaving Cert grade or Higher Level requirement, so confirm with admissions@croatia.rit.edu.
  • Applications are reviewed holistically: school transcripts, a motivational essay in English (at least 400 words) and an interview with an admissions specialist. SAT/ACT are not required.
  • English is assessed through the interview, the essay and school grades; no separate English test is required, so Leaving Cert English should normally be sufficient (confirm with admissions).
