Student review [#99679] for BSc in International Hospitality Management
at EHL Hospitality Business School - EHL

I chose EHL because I wanted more than a traditional business degree. I wanted to understand how operations, leadership, and human behavior come together in real environments.
One of the most formative experiences for me was the first-year operations weeks. They were intense and sometimes exhausting, but they taught me discipline, attention to detail, and how to stay composed under pressure. You quickly realize that hospitality is built on teamwork and consistency, not just creativity.
The diversity at EHL has also shaped me in unexpected ways. Working with classmates from over 100 nationalities is inspiring, but it also challenges you. You learn to navigate different communication styles and expectations, which prepares you for global teams far better than theory alone.
Balancing academics with leadership roles, especially as Vice President of Sustainability, was not always easy. There were moments of stress and self-doubt. But the support from faculty and the structure around career guidance made a real difference. From CV workshops to interview preparation, I felt equipped rather than overwhelmed when applying for internships.
What makes EHL distinctive, in my experience, is the ambition of the people around you. You are constantly surrounded by individuals who want to build, lead, and innovate. That environment pushes you to grow.
My advice to future students is to take initiative early. The more you engage, the more you gain. EHL challenges you, but it also shapes you in ways that go beyond the classroom.
