Student-Staff relationship

As far as universities go I think EU business school comes first in terms of student-staff relationship. Every member of the staff I have encountered has been more than helpful. What i think should improve as even tho its not connected to my previous point is I think the school should have more leniency towards tuition payment specially to international students because we are here despite the challenges of having to find willing banks to exchange local currencies to Euros.

Learning Hospitality by Living it

Choosing EHL was a very intentional decision for me. As an extroverted person passionate about hospitality, I wanted a university where service excellence is not only taught but truly practiced. EHL stood out because of its balance between academic rigor and hands-on experience. The AP (preparatory year) program had a big impact on me. Working in operational roles such as fine dining service, front office, pastry taught me discipline, attention to detail, and how to perform under pressure. It gave me real confidence in guest interaction and teamwork. Academically, I especially enjoyed classes related to financial accounting and economics as they helped me better understand how people and businesses function together. EHL’s career support also made a real difference. The interview preparation and guidance helped me secure my Front Office internship at Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab, which was a major opportunity for me. What makes EHL distinctive is its international environment and high standards. You’re constantly surrounded by ambitious, driven students, which pushes me to grow both personally and professionally. My advice to future students is to fully embrace the operational experience; it builds resilience and professionalism that truly sets you apart.

Emphasis on sustainability but too poor international interactions

What I liked: -Sustainable concerns of the school -Partnership with Social Education University in order to deliver social related modules What I didn't like while being registered to an international program: -Some material modules are still in German, some teachers suggested to translate them on Deepl -Local students are not very open-minded... tend to create their own circles and don't include international students -Even though the program is supposed to be taught in English, more minors are given in German than in English, which reduces the minors choices to 3 only... To improve: -Class materials and/or explanations can be given in English even though the student asked a question in Swiss-German (more inclusive) -More inclusive events, even though students can not be forced to take part in them, help international students to be included by locals Recommend? : I do not think that I would recommend international students to study there. I studied one year in Geneva, and the international program there is more inclusive than the one in Lucerne.

Support and Growth

The 15 months at AISTS were truly enlightening. What sets this program apart is its exceptional support system, offering unparalleled professional guidance and prioritizing mental health and wellness.
