Selection method of Swiss study abroad hotel management school

Lausanne, founded in Switzerland, has become the first hotel management school in the world with a long history of 100 years.

SEG's colleges and universities are established and operated in Switzerland, following the traditional Swiss hotel management education model.

Glion and Linos were originally Swiss Hotel Management Institute, but in 2000 they were acquired by American Laurel Group and set up Jinjiang Linos Hotel Management Branch in Shanghai, China. They don't need English and academic requirements, and accept any conditions of high school students. Students can transfer directly to Glion or Linos in Switzerland after completing 2-3 years' courses in Jinjiang.

2. Geographical location

Lausanne is located in the French city of Lausanne.

Linos is located in a suburban town in central Montana. It consists of a teaching building and scattered dormitories. You need to walk or take a bus to class, which is about 20 minutes' drive from the town below the mountain. Glion is located near Montreux, a French-speaking city.

SHMS in SEG has two campuses, close to Montreux, of which Caux Campus is the only university transformed from a five-star hotel in Switzerland, and Laisen Campus was formerly a well-known local high-end club. HIM and IHTTI are located in the city centers of Montreux and Neuchatel respectively; Cesar Ritz has three campuses, located in the French-speaking town of Bouveur, the German-speaking town of Lucerne and the town of Briggs. The Lucerne campus used to be a magnificent hotel building.

3. Academic system

undergraduate courses

Lausanne, Glion and Rinos all carry out four-year undergraduate courses, of which Lausanne includes 9 months' internship, while Glion and Rinos include 65,438+0 years' internship. In the first two years, Linos took turns to attend classes for two weeks and practice in school for two weeks, so compared with other universities, Linos had more time for practical operation, while Lausanne added non-hotel management academic research courses such as advanced mathematics and measurement methods to the course content.

SEG implements a three-year undergraduate program, which includes theoretical knowledge of hotel operation and administration, hotel-related industries, and appropriate practical operations, including 1 year paid overseas internship, and the course arrangement is more appropriate. After completing the three-year course, students can devote themselves to international hotels, tourism, luxury goods and other related industries and hold management positions.

According to the current market demand, many students prefer to choose three-year courses, hoping to work in overseas hotels as early as 1 year, accumulate 1 year experience, or complete master's courses in 1 year, thus forming the advantage of returning to China for development. According to the employment statistics of SEG 20 1 1 year, 53% of China students returned to China for development after graduation, and most of the remaining China graduates chose Asia (15%, such as Dubai, Maldives and Singapore), Europe (12%), Hong Kong and Macau (8.

For graduates majoring in hotel management or related majors: SEG offers 1 year master's courses in the mode of half-year theoretical courses and half-year paid overseas internships; Lausanne offers a full-theory 14-month master's program without internship; Glion and Linos offer 1 year master's courses, which are also theoretical teaching and do not provide overseas internship opportunities.

For non-hotel management or related graduates: SEG offers a 2-year master's program, including 1 year paid internship. 1 year SEG students who have completed half-year classes and half-year paid internships can not only enter the second-year master's program after obtaining the diploma from PGD College, but also choose to work in overseas countries or return to domestic star-rated hotels according to their personal development plans. If students feel the need to improve themselves and continue their studies in their work projects, they can go back to school and postpone their second-year master's courses. This academic system makes students' career development more flexible. Lausanne, on the other hand, only offers 14 months of full theoretical master's courses, and there is no internship. Glion and Linos offer 2.5-year master's programs, including 0.5-year paid overseas internship.

8. Alumni Network

Swiss hotel management is world-renowned.

In recent two years, the employment rate of Swiss hotel management graduates is Lausanne (65%), Glion (85%), Linos (86%) and Seg (89.6%). Most of Lausanne's alumni are engaged in industries unrelated to hotels, such as IT, banking and commerce. Glion and Linos alumni are mainly engaged in chain hotel groups or star hotels. Because SEG divides the courses into different directions, alumni not only work in international star-rated hotel groups, but also develop industries in hotels, such as luxury goods, travel aviation, high-end clubs and resorts, luxury cruise ships, theme parks, real estate, media and foreign trade companies.
