The hospitality industry is the world’s largest employer offering a wide array of employment

opportunities including hotels, restaurants, travel, leisure, wellness and many other

sectors of the service industry. It is expected to keep expanding, thus offering people a

wider spectrum of jobs than ever before. Since its inception in 1954 as an international school

and then as a Hotel Management School in 1979, Les Roches has evolved into a world-class

university that is focused on educating the future leaders of the hospitality industry.

MISSIONLes Roches International School of Hotel Management prepares students committed

to a career in the service industries. Its hospitality education programs balance theory

with practice, independent learning with strong faculty support, and a foundation for

lifelong learning with the skills for immediate employment and progress to leadership

positions in the industry. Through international sites, the Les Roches model of education

is accessible to students throughout the world.

ACCREDITATIONLes Roches is accredited at university level (Bachelor Degree) by the Commission on

Institutions of Higher Education of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges

(NEASC) in the United States. It is one of the six associations recognized by the American

department of education (www.neasc.org/roster/pssos.htm). Les Roches is one of only

three hospitality schools in Switzerland that is recognized by NEASC at university level.

THE SWISS HOTEL ASSOCIATION“Hôtelleriesuisse” has been in existence for 125 years and is the top leading Swiss Hotel

Association. With over 3,500 members and 2,500 hotels, the association is engaged in

numerous activities, namely the exclusive star rating system for hotels, media and specialized

other Hotel Management schools in Switzerland are part or affiliated to this prestigious

association.
