Course description

The EHL Education group has been serving up excellence in hospitality and education since 1893 when its flagship institution became the world’s first hotel school, founded by Jacques Tschumi. Over the past 125 years, the hotel school (EHL Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne) grew into a thriving international university with a consulting branch and academic partnerships, under the ownership of the EHL foundation. The growth and diversification of our activities lead to the creation of EHL Education Group, to allow greater synergies between these academic and business structures. The EHL Education Group has three campuses across the globe (Lausanne, Passugg & Singapore). Each school campus has its own unique offer of programs, services, and specialized activities in relation to the industry. EHL is always a step ahead of its time. From a small Swiss hotel school, EHL has evolved into an international group that offers a large and complete range of learning and business solutions. To augment the level of excellence in hospitality worldwide, our Group produces research projects, offers consulting services, nurtures startups and generates an important innovation pipeline. All of this while integrating cutting-edge digital solutions and projects into its roadmap. Above all, EHL is a state of mind, based on our forward-looking values and vision.
