    The community outside of Les Roches is huge too, I haven’t even graduated yet and have already been introduced to the alumni group back home.

    Kusum Mirchandani

    You are surrounded by such amazing people, students who own restaurants or 5-star hotels, Michelin Starred chefs, industry professionals as professors.

    I left home when I was 17 years old and went for my first internship when I turned 18. Living abroad in different cultural environments has helped me to grow and become even more mature.

    What I appreciate the most in the Master’s in Hospitality Strategy and Digital Transformation is the high exposure to industry professionals.

    We have the unique benefit of being able to create a strong professional network, even before we graduate.

    Mariel Laimou

    Coming to Les Roches at the age of 17 changed my life and changed me as a person. It gave me the opportunity to study abroad, build powerful relationships and live in four different countries within three years of my Bachelor’s studies.

    The opportunity of going on internships in between your studies is very useful because you see the actual working environment and can find out which department fits you the most.
