Four steps to a higher-level career
Specialize in high-demand sectors
In today’s competitive job market, being a specialist will ensure you stand out from the crowd. Our Master’s degree programs give you the opportunity to build knowledge and skills in one of four areas: Hospitality Business Leadership, Luxury Management and Guest Experience, Entrepreneurship and Innovation or Real Estate, Finance and Hotel Development.
Master the art of perfection
The art of hospitality – a warm welcome, exceptional service, timing, and presentation – cannot be learned in books. If you lack the hospitality experience that would be beneficial for your chosen Master’s degree, you can join our Hospitality Immersion Program. This immersive, four-week pre-session covers the industry standards and management responsibilities in fine-dining, service and culinary arts, guest relations and housekeeping.
Gain real-world business experience
For selected projects, you will conduct research, analyze data and prepare presentations which will be critically assessed by faculty, industry experts and partner companies.
On business field trips, you will put your knowledge to the test as you enjoy VIP access to international hospitality, luxury, innovation and real estate businesses.
Learn to think outside the box
As a Glion graduate student, you will develop a balanced approach to business innovation, combining rigorous research and analysis with creativity.
The business courses will teach you to measure performance and drive teams towards great results in key departments. At the same time, you will learn to lead strategies to improve and grow the business.
