Student review [#66356] for Hospitality Management
at European School of Economics - ESE

It was a great experience studying at ESE Florence. I am a hospitality professional and I came for a European approach to the hotel business, but I received much more. First of all, the founder of the school is a very interesting person, an entrepreneur and a visionary. This is reflected throughout the education system at ESE. The professors are practicing specialists in various business sectors with many years of experience. Many of them have family businesses and share their experience, and others work for large international corporations – students can get to know different sides of the business. Another important part of study is company visits. We visited iconic chain hotels in Florence and also local boutique hotels, visited Gucci house, Michelin-starred restaurants and got to know the processes. It is very valuable to receive such closed knowledge first-hand.The academic program provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the modern hotel industry, covering crucial aspects from management to customer service. And one more thing, but not the last thing, is the experience of student life. Student life at ESE is very rich and varied. We went to museums, had an Italian aperitivo, went to Tuscany on weekends and got wine and olive oil tastings, had hiking, and also had a big trip to Venice organized. The school has its own football team. And classes take place in a Renaissance palace! I couldn’t have asked for more for my studies. Thank you, ESE Florence!
