Les Roches-Gruyère University of Applied Sciences

Welcome to LRG University of Applied Sciences!  LRG University of Applied Sciences is a brand new University that received official federal authorisation on the 2nd of July 2008 from the Swiss government. This new institution has launched a Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management using the resources and facilities of the highly-reputed Swiss institutions of Les Roches International School of Hotel Management* and Glion Institute of Higher Education*. Both of these institutions are ranked among world’s leading hospitality management schools for an international career (TNS, U.K, Global Survey, September 2010).  *Les Roches and GIHE, our sister schools, are accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) in the USA. Glion is not part of the federally authorised UAS but the preparatory program is given on the Glion campus of this institution.

Our new BSc programmes are designed using the combined expertise of over 65 years of educational know-how. Les Roches International School of Hotel Management* and Glion Institute of Higher Education* have come together to create a new university that was authorised by the Swiss Government on July 2, 2008.

Our programme is offered on 2 locations, Bulle for the Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management with a specialisation in International Hospitality Management or Bluche with a specialisation in Food, Beverage and Operations Management. Our Master of Advanced Studies (MAS) programme for postgraduate students is offered on the Bulle campus. Our programme has been designed in partnership by faculty and the industry in order to meet your career needs and the industry expectations.

A key component of our curricula is action based learning where students learn by hands on experience, or use problem based learning approaches or real live projects or case studies. Theory into practice and creating reflective practitioners is a key differentiator in our curriculum design.

Transforming young adults into effective professionals working within complex service environments means that we also work with students outside the classroom. Students are encouraged to develop soft skills and absorb “an attention to detail” approach to their work and their self management: Swiss work ethos.

The international environment of our campuses means that students are confronted from day one with the need to understand cultural diversity and develop strategies to understand other people’s perspectives. An excellent start to their international careers where consideration of multi-cultural guests, clients and colleagues will be central to their working lives.

The tourism industry is vast and multi-dimensional and we are here to provide you with a solid education and the appropriate skills to launch your career in this exciting, fast moving and innovative industry. Whether you choose hotels, restaurants, catering, events, leisure, tourism, facility design, marketing, revenue management…; the career opportunities are endless!
