A Fast Track to a Successful Career
Our Master of Business Administration and Master of Science programs are the ideal choice to combine both theoretical learning and case studies, while developing interpersonal skills and project management.
MBA student, Josefina Coleman, says: “I've met people from all over the world, created a global hospitality network, and I was able to improve my professional maturity to continue growing professionally. The best thing about the MBA is the learning methodology. Students are guided, but not taught. Teachers give guidelines and students do the analysis and research. In other words, Glion gives MBA students the tools to face any situations with research, analysis and reactivity skills that are needed in the industry.” Josefina is now Revenue Manager at Alvear Palace Hotel, Argentina.
Global Exposure
A career in the hospitality industry requires graduates to have a certain level of global exposure and experience. As Alain Osta says: “Thinking back on my experience at Glion, there are three major points to emphasize: student body, academic curriculum & Location. Glion gave me the opportunity to start a global family, apart from the professional network that's been of a great us so far. As for the academic curriculum, I believe the courses taught really helped to develop my analytical and strategic skills. Through the series of case studies, we learned different approaches and analyses for different matters, always focusing on the big picture. As I took the leadership track, both the courses and student body were great tools for me to develop my cross-cultural leadership skills.” Alain is now Development Analyst MEA at FRHI Hotels & Resorts, UAE
Through its challenging academic programs, structured living environment, hands on learning and the famous “Glion Spirit”, Glion Institute of Higher Education develops innovative leaders for a broad array of service industries. With three international campuses, more than 1,600 students, 90 nationalities and more than 80 faculty members, Glion allows students to experience other cultures and choose their own educational pathway to match their personal and professional goals.
A Strong Network
The personal and professional connections Glion students make while in school don't end when they graduate. In fact, their connections grow! Because when Glion students leave school they join one of the largest, most active and most well-placed alumni associations in the international hospitality and leisure industry. With over 11,000 Glion Alumni worldwide and more than 90 companies coming on campus to recruit our students, the career choices are almost endless, from managing a 5-star island resort to leading an exclusive corporate event.
