In the face of growing development and interest towards professional services in tourism and hospitality, Apicius International School of Hospitality in Florence, Italy, has taken on the challenge of structuring a dynamic academic institution for individuals desiring the professional training necessary to enter these fields.

The increasing crossover of technological, multimedia, and communicational aspects with the ancient practices of cuisine and tourism calls for experts possessing keen knowledge grounded in tradition and well-honed skills combined with the ability to adapt to the changing fluxes of the present day. Combining passionate faculty, an intercultural student body, a broad curriculum, and state of the art facilities, Apicius represents this bold objective in a historic Italian cityscape positioned on the international level.

Career Programs are divided according to semester-long levels. At least 2 levels are required for certification (levels I and II or III and IV). The granting of formal final certification is conditional on the successful completion of all program academic requirements. Programs may be attended for only one level as a study abroad experience, at the end of which is issued to the student a transcript for coursework completed. Each level offers 5 core courses and the option of adding specialized options such as Italian language, seminars, and internships. 

Select Apicius career tracks may directly transfer to the BA-BLPS dual degree program offered by FUA-AUF and Fairfield University. For details please inquire.

*For the below programs with an asterisk: Diplomas of professional qualification are issued from the Region of Tuscany for these one-year/ 2-level programs. In order to obtain the diploma, students must enroll in all courses related to a specific Career Program.
