SHL Schweizerische Hotelfachschule Luzern

The SHL Bachelor programme

The SHL Bachelor in Hospitality Management programme is a full-time, four-year degree programme in English, including two paid internships.

Semester one lays the foundation: Students get familiarised with the fascinating world of a hotelier. Through a combination of practical experience and theory in F&B, they internalise the attitude of hospitality professionals in both thought and action.

The first industry internship follows in the second semester, where students will put the supervised work experience from the first semester into practice in Switzerland.

In semester three students concentrate on Rooms Division. Along with Front Office and Housekeeping, this semester covers the environmental impact and financial aspects of managing the core departments of a hotel.

During semester four students get their second industry experience, where they can apply their skills at a higher level of responsibility in any of the areas related to Rooms Division.

The following two semesters focus on Business Administration and Hospitality Management,

with emphasis on how to generate and maintain financial stability through strong leadership.

In the final two semesters, Management, Finance and Economics are studied in depth. These

topics are supported by academic research studies and Mathematics, Entrepreneurship and

Intercultural Competence, to provide the graduates with the full range of skills necessary to be able to conduct business at an international level.
