Student review [#99687] for BSc in International Hospitality Management
at EHL Hospitality Business School - EHL

If you are hesitating to choose EHL for your next study path, allow me to share with you how I discovered EHL and what it brought me. In 2021, I was uncertain about my study path. During the summer, my mother advised me to apply for the EHL Junior Academy week to have an overview of a hospitality management school. I went on the first day of the Junior Academy uncertain about my choice. I came back one week later saying to my parents: “The school is meant for me.” I discovered a field of study that combines analysis, luxury, and passion. I chose EHL for this reason.

Throughout the past three years, I have discovered the diversity of the hospitality sector and exchanged with passionate people. During my AP first year, I was able to discover the operational side of hospitality and its importance in order to provide excellent service. I particularly enjoyed working in the Michelin-starred restaurant “Le Berceau des Sens,” as it was a real immersion in fine dining service!

During the second and third years at EHL (which are academic years), I was impressed by the large panel of classes EHL provides, from finance to international marketing, room division, and economics. Everyone can find their favorite topic(s)! My favorite subjects were certainly macroeconomics, since the professor, Mr. Sfreddo, was supportive, and also HR taught by Ms. Pougnet, a remarkable lecturer! The valuable outcome from this year was that I discovered a strong interest in cost control and management accounting, and I was able to experience my motivation for those subjects throughout an administrative internship.

Furthermore, another pillar, in my honest opinion, of EHL is networking. During the Junior Academy, I met Monsieur Laurent, who is the Value Ambassador of EHL. I was impressed by his passion and wisdom. Through the different semesters, I met students and peers on campus with various aspirations, supportive professors, and brilliant hospitality leaders during events on campus.

If I have to describe my personal evolution throughout my bachelor so far, I would say that the little anxiety I had on the first day completely faded through the years thanks to EHL’s welcoming environment and experiences. And that’s the aim of hospitality: to make everyone feel welcome and confident!

I would strongly advise future students to take every opportunity EHL offers. Apply for committees, participate in events held on campus, and network with as many people as you can.

EHL is an experience that will stay with you for the rest of your life.
