Diploma programme: Director's message

Our aim in the Hotel and Restaurant Management programme is twofold.

On the one hand, we work with hoteliers and restaurateurs to identify employees who show potential. At the same time we work with the candidates themselves to develop their talents through a short, intensive and concrete programme of study centred around developing a business concept. >>>

The idea for EHL’s Diploma in Hotel and Restaurant Management was born because we realized at EHL that there is a great need in the hospitality sector to provide development opportunities for young people already working in the industry – young people who are interested in the human-scale aspect of hospitality.

These young professionals have a passion for hospitality. They would love to develop their talents, climb the career ladder, reach positions of responsibility, innovate and really make a difference. But they need some help.

All the faculty members involved in the Hotel and Restaurant Management programme are committed to accompanying and guiding each individual student with their expertise, inside knowledge and experience. The programme is centred around a project which can be partly adapted and individualized according to the experience and interests of each student. Professors are eager to give participants a helping hand so that they can climb several steps in the career ladder and reach new responsibilities rapidly.
