Switzerland’s Ecole hoteliere de Lausanne (EHL), dubbed the Harvard for hospitality management education, is setting up a campus in Singapore in 2021.
The degree will cost 110,000 Swiss Francs (S$151,030) over four years, about five times more than the hospitality management degree offered by the Singapore Institute of Technology.
The school said it has got the EduTrust certification needed by private education institutions in Singapore to offer its Bachelor of Science in International Hospitality Management course in Singapore.
EHL Group CEO Michel Rochat said that Singapore was selected as the preferred location for EHL’s first international campus outside Switzerland thanks to its stringent educational quality standards, quality of life, stability, attractiveness to students and values.
The Singapore Institute of Technology, which takes in 150 students a year, said its hospitality management degree course is one of the most popular, with about six Singapore students vying for one place.
