The school has great professors who are masters in their fields allowing the students to learn the best practices that will be useful later in their work careers. The program is very versatile taking students through the journey of Restaurants, Rooms Division, Finances, etc., the most important aspects of the hospitality industry. Overall, it feels like after you graduate from EHL, you will be ready to succeed in the hospitality industry right away.

Overall I enjoy being a student at EHL. The course itself is fantastic and aligns perfectly with what I want to do in the future. The lecturers are all very knowledgeable about their subjects and the courses I find highly interesting. The facilities are good, although I think the campus is a bit overpopulated at the moment – you have to queue a long time at all.

I love how fast-paced the academic program is as it motivates me to stay focused, motivated, and excited for learning. The facilities are impeccable and the students are extremely open to introducing each other and connecting. The student body is not too large or small, and the feeling of being part of a community is a major element of being an EHL student. The classes cover many subjects and go quite deep. I have heard students that find it extremely challenging to stay on top of the work, but I personally find it as a motivating challenge.

“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.

EHL is a world-renowned hospitality management school. The bachelor’s degree lasts 4 years, in which the first year, the “preparatory year” is a slightly more innovative course with operational classes such as cooking or catering. During these 4 incredible years, you have the chance to attend 2 internships wherever you decide to go in the world (I personally did my first internship at the Ritz Carlton in Montreal, an experience I will not forget). Moreover, the EHL campus is really incredible and it is also brand new, it has just been renovated. Over the 3 years of the bachelor’s degree that follows the preparatory year, you have the opportunity to explore EHL’s other campuses, such as Passugg, or Singapore (currently under construction). These 3 years are mainly focused on management and finance. In any case, if I can suggest a school in which the campus is fantastic, the social life as well and the classes are very well structured, I would recommend the Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne. Not to mention that Lausanne is a very student-oriented and festive city. The opportunities after graduating from EHL are abundant and significant in the world of luxury, finance and hospitality.
