DTU offers Tourism and Hospitality programs that have received UNWTO.TedQual accreditation, a prestigious certification from the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) that ensures the quality of tourism education.
Two of Duy Tan University’s programs - International Hotel Management and International Restaurant Management - have been certified, meeting 91.2% of all criteria with a high evaluation score of 771/845 points.
This is the same international accreditation used by The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, the world’s top-ranked university in tourism and hospitality, to assess its training programs. This institution also directly supported and advised DTU throughout the process of achieving this recognition. UNWTO.TedQual is widely seen as the "AACSB equivalent" in the field of tourism.
For years, DTU Tourism students have benefited from curricula imported from Pennsylvania State University (PSU) - one of the top 50 U.S. business schools (according to U.S. News 2024) and one of the top 5 tourism schools globally (according to UNWTO). The PSU-standard programs include:
- PSU-standard Hotel and Tourism Management
- PSU-standard Travel and Tourism Management
- PSU-standard Restaurant Management
Thanks to this high-quality learning environment, many DTU students have successfully entered the global job market.
