EHL is the world’s leading source of hospitality management education, advisory services, and innovation resources for businesses and learning centers. The EHL group has been serving up excellence in hospitality education since 1893 when its flagship institution became the world’s first hotel school, founded by Jacques Tschumi as Ecole Hôtelière de Lausanne. Over the past 125 years, EHL grew from a small Swiss hotel school, into a thriving international group that has campuses in Switzerland and Asia. Today, a worldwide alumni network of 30,000 professionals and several thousand-industry partners support EHL.

EHL offers hospitality business degrees and courses for students of all ages and backgrounds, including pre-university courses, a bachelor’s degree, master’s, certification, and MBA degrees, as well as short courses and certificates for executives.
