Accreditation Glion Institute of Higher Education is accredited at a university level

by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) in

the USA through its Commission on Institutions of Higher Education

(CIHE). It is one of the six regional accreditation associations for

quality assurance recognized by the US government, and accredits Ivy

League Schools in the New England area. Glion is one of only three

Swiss hospitality schools to be accredited at university level by NEASC.

Mission of the Glion Graduate School Exemplifying Glion's institutional mission, the Graduate School

provides an exciting and innovative synergy between academic

rigor and the practice of service. The graduate programs, whether

enabling our participants to make flexible, thoughtful contributions

to their chosen field.

our master's programs with real-life, real-time issues. Practical

projects and industry speakers help bring our education alive.

Our contacts have grown over Glion's more than 50-year history,

the impact of continuous learning by objectively evaluating the

consequences of their actions and choices. We encourage them

to develop contacts and knowledge of the industry through our

visiting speaker program, conferences, applied research activities,

networking opportunities, and career programs.

"For me, the best thing about the MBA is the methodology used throughout the program. It

is extremely interesting how students are guided but not taught; teachers give guidelines and

students do the research. In other words, Glion gives MBA students the tools to learn about

and conduct research into anything they need or want to. Due to the good job offers I have

been receiving, I may confirm that studying at Glion has been a very valuable investment for

my future–even allowing me to skip levels in the job hierarchy."

"What’s great about a hospitality degree is that you come out with experience, other programs

don’t do that. Sometimes people go into a master’s without experience and then even with their

degree they must start at the bottom, although they probably have the skills to grow and build

their careers faster. In the MBA, you also build the capacity to learn, adapt and advance much

faster. It is important to come into the degree with experience as it gives you the know-how,

and it makes you work hard, but then the MBA makes you work harder, you learn to push big

projects, to complete lengthy papers, etc. It is sort of the same environment as a hospitality

world with the fast-paced environment.”

The Applied Business Project (ABP)If you are studying a campus-based or hybrid MBA program, or the

Master of Science in Hospitality Finance, the ABP is a chance for

you to work with managers from Glion’s industry partners - major

hospitality companies such as Kempinski, Nestlé Professional,

Mövenpick, and InterContinental - to address the company’s real,

current business issues.

Faculty members and managers collaborate to establish the aims

and objectives for each project. You conduct a qualitative and/or

quantitative investigation of the given problem, then offer insights

and practical suggestions in a management report presented before

the industry partner’s decision makers.

Finally, you reflect on your contribution in an individual project

based on learning theories. You, the school, and the company all

benefit.

"The Applied Business Project offers a remarkable chance to connect with the industry. I did

my ABP for Kempinski on a very interesting topic: how the current Kempinski sales process

across Europe impacts the top line. The ABP developed my business acumen and taught me

how to conduct research in a pragmatic way.

This MBA has helped me to advance my career in the hospitality industry. The ABP gave me

the opportunity to enter the Kempinski Hotels Group. I started with an entry-level position in

their headquarters as an Operations Coordinator. After one year, I was promoted to Regional

Operations Manager for Europe. I then moved on to become Regional Operations Manager for

India, the Middle East, and Africa, based in Dubai."

Examples of Applied Business Projects In an ABP with Kempinski Hotels, a long-term partner of Glion,

MBA students examined how to better motivate and retain

employees within the Generation Y demographic, who comprise

a majority of Kempinski’s front-line workforce but have tended

to be more transient than employees of other generations.

MBA students conducted focus-group interviews and data

analysis of Gen Y employees in Europe, China, Thailand, and

the Middle East. Employees reported they could benefit from

a career-planning program that would help them grow within

the career hierarchy, as well as cross-training programs that

would broaden their skill set.

This study has led to further ABP projects with Kempinski,

including the building of in-house training for Gen Y employees

and a proposal for a social media recruitment strategy to be

applied within the company.

"After being introduced to several master's programs with specializations in hospitality, at a handful of university

open days, I had no doubt that Glion was my number one choice. Instead of applying for the MBA, I found myself

an even more suitable course–the MSc in International Hospitality Finance–which has given me great

management and financial leadership skills, and knowledge for my future career within the event industry. I am

extremely happy that I chose to complete my master's at Glion. It is not only a university with highly qualified

professors and high standards of education but it is also a university where you can get personalized support

and attention from the professors and the administration staff regarding both your studies and your future career.

And that is what makes it one of the top universities worldwide."

POSTGRADUATE DIPLOMA IN HOSPITALITY ADMINISTRATION(1 year and 3 months)

Note: Students with work experience and no bachelor's degree will be awarded a

Professional Development Diploma in place of the Postgraduate Diploma. Please

enquire for more details.

"I did my first internship in Sochi during the 2014 Winter Olympic Games. It was an unforgettable

experience with a lot of hard work but even more memorable moments! I worked for iLUKA,

a specialized event agency that provides strategies, planning, and operational fulfillment for

sponsors and other stakeholders at global events. I was responsible for welcoming, hosting,

and guiding guests around Sochi and Olympic venues. My personal goal was to exceed guests'

expectations and make sure they were getting an unforgettable Olympic experience. This

internship allowed me to see myself as a part of such a global event as The Olympic Games,

and it proved to me that hospitality is the industry I want to grow within! It was fun, and there

were a lot of Glion students and alumni all around, so I felt supported by the Glion family."

Applied LearningLearning by doing is a vital part of the Glion educational approach. Therefore, you will participate in applied learning classes that will give

you hands-on experience. Through a progression from direct mentoring and guided lessons to more self-managed learning, you will develop

and refine your skills in real-world settings. Practical classes for postgraduate students take place on the Glion campus. Under the direct

supervision of instructors, you will have the opportunity to complete 10 weeks of practical activities during your three study blocks, covering

the areas of Food and Beverage and Rooms Division.

During the Food and Beverage component, students experience service in addition to food preparation and cooking in a variety of outlets

including quick service, counter service, and table service restaurants and bars. Health, safety and hygiene practices form a fundamental

part of students' applied learning experiences across both the Food and Beverage and Rooms Division disciplines.

During the Rooms Division component, students experience customer-facing roles in the environment of the Front Desk, dealing with

check-in and check-out procedures as well as the administrative duties of a modern Rooms Division department. Responsibilities include

the duties of the housekeeping department and employing a sound knowledge of cleaning practices.

Assessment of students' skills and associated competencies takes place daily through observation of tasks. Assessment of the applied theory

is both formative and summative through projects and written testing. The applied learning student journey is enhanced through not only

the building of skills and knowledge but also the development of teamwork capabilities and the ability to work with others in a multicultural,

international environment.

Studying a Postgraduate DiplomaIf you are on the threshold of leaving your old career and stepping into a new one, consider the exciting and booming hospitality field. Few

industries in the world are growing as rapidly as hospitality. By 2026, 11% of worldwide employment will be in travel and tourism, representing

a staggering 370 million jobs.* And those hundreds of millions of employment opportunities are spread across a wide range of sectors within

the industry.

Earning your degree at Glion could be your ticket to a top-level management position in one of these rewarding areas. Our Postgraduate

Diploma program combines superb academic training with applied learning. You will also complete a six-month internship that will give

you real-world experience and invaluable contacts with leading international companies and brands. Our graduates also work in the high-

flying fields of finance, luxury goods, and more.


The Internship SemesterInternships add a critically important dimension to a graduate

education. You will have the chance to practice the operational and

management skills you learned on campus and deepen your practical

knowledge and understanding of the industry. Your internship can also

be a good opportunity to improve your foreign language skills, which

are increasingly essential in today’s global economy.

Of course, Glion internships are also door openers. Many employers

offer permanent positions to interns who impress them. Without

question, the real-world success of Glion graduates is accelerated by

their internships.

At the end of the academic program, students of the Master of Science

in International Hotel Management, Master of Science in Event,

Sport and Entertainment Management, and Postgraduate Diploma

in Hospitality Administration complete a one-semester internship

in the industry. Hospitality students gain work experience with an

international hospitality brand while ESE students advance their skills

by planning, organizing, and managing events of all kinds for Glion’s

real-world industry partners.

THE INDUSTRY NETWORK

Top Brands Recruit Our Students

Our career development department is very active in helping students secure employment upon graduation. Each semester, representatives

from more than 50 globally influential companies visit Glion to recruit graduating students. Many Glion graduates enjoy immediate

employment and accelerated promotion.


"Glion gave me the opportunity to start a global network, apart from my professional

contacts, that has been of great use so far. This really diverse and international environment

(27 nationalities in a class of 52!) helped me develop myself to see people for who they

are, accept differences, and accept some really unfamiliar ideas that I was introduced to

by my classmates, which I found astonishing. Did Glion help me to get my job? Definitely.

The job opportunity was posted by Glion’s career center - and the academic background

that I gained from Glion, plus having graduated from such a well-reputed school, definitely

gave me a boost during the shortlisting."

"Marriott International has a long and successful partnership with Glion, and for many years

we have benefited greatly by supporting career opportunities for excellent graduate talent

entering our industry. Career representations and educational tutorials have been made by

leaders and recruiters from all our continent locations who value the opportunity to interact

with great talent. It’s vital that anyone who is entering our business, and seeking a career

journey to management and leadership, first understands how to practically apply craft skills

and strategize within the core business parameters.

We find that Glion students demonstrate this effectively, and therefore they assimilate very well

into our hotels and other more specialist roles we may have, that is, at our head office locations.

We have seen great project work undertaken by a number of Glion graduates, all having a

direct impact on driving our business forward. We are seeing new technologies emerging in

the social space, and students have offered new direction in how to leverage these trends."

GLION ALUMNI NETWORK

"Beyond its personalized curriculum, one of Glion's strengths is its alumni network of industry

professionals who are a great resource when looking for an internship or a job opportunity.

The network is very active, with multiple organized reunions around the world to celebrate

our community. Several years after our graduation, the "Glion Spirit" is still there!"

The personal and professional connections you make at Glion

will not end when you graduate. In fact, your connections will multiply. Because when you leave Glion, you

will join one of the largest, most active alumni associations in the international hospitality industry.


How did you come to participate in this program?

Eddy: The Dean of Glion's Graduate Programs approached me one

day and offered me the chance to mentor a student who needed

support from someone in the industry. Nick was struggling to fit

in due to his age and previous experience, which was unmatched

by his fellow students. We had similarities in our experience

and profiles.

We did connect straight away. I was able to feel what Nick was

feeling, and understand what he was going through. So, I was

able to advise him from my own experience.

Nick: Eddy has been an excellent mentor who has helped me on

a professional and personal basis. When I was first introduced

to him, I was struggling to get a job offer and my morale was

very low. He helped me to focus on assessing my strengths and

weaknesses and working on a better résumé, and he gave me

great advice regarding interviews. On top of that, Eddy sent my

information to his own network, which was very helpful in getting

feedback from professionals. He also gave me some valuable

information regarding certain companies and properties that I

had been in contact with.

You were the first ones to experience this initiative. Would you recommend other students and alumni follow you?

Eddy: I believe it is positive for students to have role models to

support their early development. Some students are very stressed

by the idea of starting their work life, so this program will reassure

them while giving them structure and guidance. Building bridges

with the industry is also a bonus, and the earlier the better. After

all, this is also the “Glion Spirit”!

Nick: It is a great experience and really helps a lot. Glion does

have extremely qualified professors who all have extensive

knowledge and experience in the industry, but having access to

someone who is currently working in a management position

is an invaluable support to anyone looking at starting a career.

Are you still in touch?

Eddy: Definitely, yes! We actually wish we could work together

one day.

Nick: Of course! We are regularly in touch. Eddy has always been

very helpful when things were not going as well as I expected, and

I look forward to hopefully being able to work in the same hotel.

The Mentorship ProgramThe Glion Mentorship Program puts graduating students who are searching for a position in contact with alumni who can help

them with their search. It is a bridge into the student’s future life; one foot into reality. Glion interviewed the first student and

mentor to participate in this program.

GLION IN BULLE: STUDENT LIFE

Study in SwitzerlandBesides its unparalleled landscapes and ideal location in Europe,

Switzerland is also one of the world’s best choices for education.

The concept of hospitality has its roots here, along with a tradition of

friendliness, hard work, and integrity. Swiss hospitality education is

world-famous for its standards of excellence and many hotels choose

Swiss-educated managers because of their strong work ethic, attention

to detail, genuine affinity for customer service, and effectiveness in

managing a diverse workforce.

Beautiful BulleThe city of Bulle is located in the heart of Gruyère, a lovely tourist

region at the foot of the Swiss Alps that is known for its cheese,

produce, and summer folk market. On a hill overlooking the Trême

river, Bulle has a charming Old Town that is just a few minutes’ walk

from campus.

Thanks to its prospering high-tech industry, Bulle is one of the fastest-

growing cities in Switzerland. Bulle’s population is about 20,000

inhabitants, 30% of whom are from abroad. Bulle’s lively cultural

scene includes clubs, bars, cinema, and galleries. And when you need

a study break, you can hike, run, or cycle on trails through the forest,

located only five minutes from the center of town.

Bulle is close to many other attractive destinations. It is a 10-minute

drive from Gruyères village, a medieval town dominated by one of the

most famous castles in Switzerland. It is 20 minutes from Fribourg,

a vibrant university town with shops, cafés, theaters, and lively

nightlife. It's 35 minutes from the Glion campus in Montreux and

just over an hour from Geneva. And with Europe’s excellent public

transportation infrastructure, you can easily make weekend trips to

France, Italy, Germany, and even the UK or Spain.

On Campus Home to postgraduate and MBA students, the Bulle campus offers a

comfortable living atmosphere and a dynamic learning environment.

The impressive, modern campus includes numerous classrooms, an

excellent library, and a new Academic Centre.

ActivitiesBulle provides a wonderful setting and lifestyle outside the classroom.

Its mountainous, lush surroundings offer outstanding sporting

activities, including downhill and cross-country skiing, mountain

biking, canyoning, rafting, boating, climbing, paragliding, and

horseback riding.

You will have access to a nearby fitness center, where you can take

classes in yoga, Zumba, and dance. Local sports clubs offer football,

rugby, skiing, basketball, and more. Teams from Glion’s Bulle and

Montreux campuses compete against one another and with teams

from Les Roches and other hospitality schools.

You will also have the chance to attend exhibition openings, concerts,

theater performances, and wine and gourmet food tasting events. And

perhaps best of all - you will make deep and lasting relationships with

your fellow students from all over the world.

While Glion students are training for management success, they are

also doing something equally important - they are having fun.

GLION IN LONDON: STUDENT LIFE

Study in LondonStudying at Glion London can open up limitless horizons. Postgraduate

and graduate students receive the same superb Glion Swiss hospitality

education - but in London, an endlessly stimulating metropolis.

In London, you will be surrounded by the best of every aspect of

hospitality: hotels, restaurants, entertainment, cultural events, and

sports. It is the ultimate location if you aspire to reach the top.

London was crowned business capital of Europe in 2014.1 The

city will expose you to how business is conducted on the global

stage. Central London boasts more than 1,600 hotels, providing

a range of internships and career opportunities. The UK is also a

sought-after location for higher education: over the next decade,

it is anticipated that the UK will retain its position as the second

study destination of choice after the US.2 If that is not enough to

keep you busy, London is also one of the best-connected cities in

the world. The city’s ideal location and infrastructure enable you

to easily travel to the great cities of Europe and further afield, as

well as tour the many cultural and historical attractions of the UK.

The University of Roehampton - Downshire House Only 40 minutes from the West End, Glion London is located in

south-west London at Downshire House, a freshly renovated grade

II-listed Georgian building nestled on a newly developed green

parkland site within the campus of the University of Roehampton.

The first villa on the Downshire House site was developed in the

seventeenth century. Various redevelopments took place over

the centuries, while the country house was used as a private

residence. Since 1963, this beautiful surviving classical villa has

been in educational use, recently refurbished as a modern learning

environment with contemporary lecture and seminar rooms, study

areas, and social spaces.

London: The Hospitality Capital of the WorldLondon retained its position as the top-ranked international

travel destination in 2015, for the fifth time in seven years.1

Michelin-starred restaurants.2

"The reason we come to recruit at Glion is because Glion has

such a great reputation in Switzerland and around the world

for attracting great students to study their variety of courses.

The courses are well suited to the industry, in particular to

the luxury industry which we are a part of, so we chose to

partner with Glion for the caliber of their courses and the

caliber of their students.

Students from all schools bring talent and a variety of skills to

the hospitality industry. The difference with Glion students is

that they have a very good balance between their practical skills

and theoretical skills, which some of the other hotel schools

may not focus on as much. It's the mixture of skills from the

service side and the management theory which makes Glion

of particular interest to Ritz-Carlton."
