Experience excellence
Immerse yourself in luxury
This is a Bachelor’s degree that will immerse you in luxury, not just on campus, but also through an exceptional program of field trips, site visits and three professional internships in the industry. It will teach you how the luxury business operates and how luxury brands are built and sustained, equipping you with the knowledge you’ll need to lead and strategically direct a luxury business. Upon graduation, your degree – combined with the professional experience of your internships – will open doors to the most selective luxury employers, who trust Glion to produce skilled, polished and career-ready young talents.
Transformative education
All of luxury in one degree
The luxury industry is multi-faceted; and each of its core components is represented within your program curriculum. From working in a Michelin-starred fine dining restaurant to studying courses devoted to luxury distribution channels and luxury marketing, you will acquire the knowledge and skills you need to forge a successful career in the luxury segment of your choosing.
Unrivalled professional experience
Your program incorporates two six-month professional internships and an on-the-job experience. For the first, we recommend an adventure into the world of luxury hospitality, where the customer experience delivered is now the model for the wider luxury industry. The second internship will allow you to reflect on managerial competencies in the workplace, while your on-the-job experience will be the start of your future career.
Blending hard & soft skills
This program delivers the combination of hard and soft skills required to lead in the modern workplace. Business elements cover areas such as corporate finance, digital marketing, data analysis and strategic brand management, while soft skills we’ll help you develop include communication, talent management and change management.
Apply your business knowledge
During your Bachelor Thesis or Applied Business Project, you will have the opportunity to review real-life business challenges and/or trends. In the Applied Business Project, you will collaborate with a ‘client’ company from the luxury industry, under the guidance of a faculty supervisor.
