The key to your career in Hospitality
Our program gives you practical and professional experience along with the cultural fluency and business management skills to start a promising career.
Curriculum
Our curriculum reinforces academic study of hospitality fundamentals with practical lessons and real-life professional experience.
When you do kitchen duty, for example, your learning goes beyond culinary art. You learn team management, logistics and financial planning. You develop employability skills, such as flexibility, problem solving, communication, timekeeping and precision. You get a chance to put these management and leadership skills into action during your two international internships — in any sector or industry, in almost any country around the world.
You learn about innovative business practices through personal interaction with disruptive companies and leaders. Invited guest speakers and visiting companies bring their industry expertise to you on campus. Meanwhile, Les Roches provides opportunities for you to visit leading businesses in hospitality and beyond.
In a city with plenty of five star hotels, renowned F&B outlets and internationals events, there is no shortage of industry partners to visit.
