Student review [#20980]
for International Hospitality and Tourism Management
at Ecole Hôtelière de Lausanne - EHL
Lausanne, Switzerland
“You never get a second chance to make a good first impression”. This famous sentence introduced by Monsieur LAURENT, Values ambassador of École Hôtelière de Lausanne, makes all its sense as soon as you enter the school. Excellence can be experienced in every corner. This feeling comes first from the first year of the program called “année préparatoire” or preparatory year in English.
This year is one of the reasons why EHL trains the most efficient and experienced hospitality managers and businessmen. This preparatory year is designed to be open-minded in the hospitality industry. with a different workshop every week, from the kitchen, service, reception and many others, and with the help of the best hospitality professionals in the world, we are able to make the difference in the future from other managers as we have experience in every domain. After this year and an internship, the bachelor program will start.
After experiencing how the school is designed to help their students during the preparatory year with departments to help us write our CV, for example, we realise during the bachelor program that the help from the school does not stop here… An example is that in every topic, student assistants are organizing every week recap sessions to help everyone understand more in-depth the lessons. The availability of the teachers is also very impressive. It is possible to reach them through the online platform from the school or by email. Classic for a university you will say, however, at EHL, it is also possible to have private meetings with any teachers anytime and anywhere at school or online!
If we had to find one reason for the success of the students graduating from École Hôtelière de Lausanne, it would certainly be the help from the school in any important domains, in addition to more than 35 student committees that bring students together. This big family is the key to keeping EHL the best hospitality management school in the world.
