Testimonials
Tobias Werder (EHL MBA Graduate)
Event & Residence Manager, Embassy of Switzerland in the People's Republic of China
After a bachelor's degree in hospitality and several years of management experience, I felt it was time to upscale my management skills. I wish to keep up with industry trends, innovations and to delve into new competitive approaches that shape the dynamic sector I work in. Hence, I chose to turn to one of the most respected institutions and learn from the best.
The EHL MBA in Hospitality program has been a truly inspirational, enriching, motivating, and rewarding experience. While I deepened my understanding of all the aspects that shape my professional path, I have discovered new approaches to tackle challenges from innovative angles. This online program further allows me to study from my current residence in Beijing and gives me the flexibility to work on the course at my own pace. The different courses are well structured, and the learning materials are interactive. Tutorial videos, reading materials, and practical assignments form a coherent, almost organic, mix. Far from learning alone in front of my screen, dedicated learning managers are always ready to provide professional and competent assistance. Even though the whole cohort is studying remotely while spread across the world, we connect with our peers on a regular basis, be it through online classes or group assignments.
I can only recommend this program to everyone who wishes to deepen their hospitality management knowledge, widen their network and upscale their skills while continuing on their chosen career path.
Daniel Lai (EHL MBA Graduate)
General Manager, Ibis Singapore Novena
In 2018, I enrolled in EHL's online MBA class to further my education and look for new opportunities. The defining element of why I selected EHL's MBA program was the modern course subjects. It was important to me that the course topics were relevant to current society and that the theory learned could be applied realistically. The course was also excellent in [helping to develop] my critical thinking resulting in developing different viewpoints, which I would not have previously done.
From a career perspective, the biggest impact so far is a significant growth in confidence. Whilst I was promoted during the course, I feel the long-term benefit of this MBA program will be far greater in the future [given] the superb reputation that EHL has. I have high career aspirations and truly believe that this MBA will provide firmer professional foundations and open new doors.
Lastly, the networking and connections I have made between industry experts [and] fellow students are also invaluable. The onsite element of the course was a great way to fully immerse in the culture of EHL and takes the learning experience full circle. I have thoroughly enjoyed this journey and I will be sincerely proud to be part of this exclusive alumni network in the future.
Besides Online Certificate Courses and MBA program, EHL has a full suite of programs for working professionals already in hospitality. Discover which EHL graduate program is best suited for you through this quick profile assessment!
