All applicants for EHL courses must go through an interview. The school itself tends to interview on campus, but the vast majority of China students have limited conditions. You can also ask the school to arrange a telephone interview for you. But I suggest that, except for the students in grade three, try to go to school and have face-to-face communication with the professor.
From the preparation of application materials to the interview, the whole process is a whole. The school will consider every student comprehensively, and only the best comprehensive quality can be admitted to the school. In other words, if your background is hard enough, as long as there is no big problem in the interview, you can be admitted to the school; Similarly, if you are not good enough in other aspects, but you do well in the interview and impress the interviewer, you also have a good chance of being admitted.
In order to recruit the best students, the school has been changing its methods. From the decisiveness of the interview to a more balanced interview and application materials; The number of people eliminated in the material review stage increased from 10% to 30%. We can see that while emphasizing students' ability, the school also begins to pay attention to students' academic ability and experience. This also determines the direction of future applicants' ability training, with equal emphasis on academics and abilities.
As I said above, you must know your personality and ability, whether it is suitable for hotel management major and Lausanne Hotel Management College. You can learn a little about the selection criteria of the school and what kind of students they need:

Swiss Hotel Management Institute
Lausanne Hotel Management College is no stranger to China's tourism professionals, especially those in the hotel industry. As an international hotel management training institution with the longest history and the highest professional reputation in the world, Lausanne Hotel Management College accepts more than 400 students from all over the world every year. The total number of students in a school is usually 2,000, of which 1 1,000 are studying at school, and 1 1,000 are internship in hotels all over the world. The middle and senior management talents trained by the college are the most popular talents in hotels all over the world. According to statistics, among the six large hotel groups in the world/kloc-0, the presidents or chairmen of nine hotel groups are graduates of Lausanne Hotel Management College. The strength and influence of Lausanne Hotel Management College in this field can be seen.
Over the past century, Lausanne Hotel Management College has made fruitful achievements in the training of hotel management talents and the exploration of tourism education concepts. "Lausanne Model" has become an internationally recognized successful model for the training of hotel managers. Lausanne is located in the west of Switzerland, on the north bank of Lake Geneva. This is a picturesque, quiet and elegant city with a long history. The ioc headquarters, the Olympic Museum and the famous Lausanne Hotel Management Institute are all located here.
1893, Lausanne Hotel Management Institute was established in a hotel on the shores of Lake Geneva (called Lake Lemmon in French), which is the first school in the world to train hotel managers. 1975, the school moved from the lake to Baige Town, which is close to the mountains and lakes in the north of Lausanne. 65438-0998 Lausanne Hotel Management College was listed in the sequence of higher vocational colleges by the Swiss federal government, and it is the only hotel vocational university recognized by the federal government so far. The Swiss federal and state governments not only send officials to the school board, but also give financial subsidies of about 30%. Among dozens of hotel schools in Switzerland, Lausanne Hotel Management College is also one of the 12 hotel schools recognized by the Swiss Hotel Schools Association, a private industry association in the hotel industry, and is considered as the best representative.
Over the past century, Lausanne Hotel Management College has made fruitful achievements in the training of hotel management talents and the exploration of tourism education concepts. "Lausanne Model" has become an internationally recognized successful model for the training of hotel managers. The teaching feature of Lausanne Hotel Management College is to emphasize the combination of theory and practice. The teaching method is a combination of imparting book knowledge and guiding practical operation. The college attaches great importance to this principle in curriculum setting, teacher selection, textbook compilation and student management. Whether it is two to four years of degree study or short-term training, the college will carefully arrange courses and teachers in strict accordance with the consistent principles. The teachers of Lausanne Hotel Management College are strictly selected. Most of them have long-term hotel work experience and rich professional experience. Many of them even held senior positions such as general manager. In order to keep the teaching staff at a high level, the college implements a high salary system, encourages teachers to be versatile, allows teachers to hold certain positions in enterprises, and even actively recommends them to serve as part-time consultants in enterprises. So as to ensure that teachers are not divorced from management practice and the vitality of "Lausanne model". During the few days of the training course, we had a real experience of the famous "Lausanne Model".
This is a university without walls. It can be said that the key for Lausanne Hotel Management College to become an internationally renowned hotel institution of higher learning lies in its distinctive features, practicality, tradition and modernity. Long before we came to Lausanne, we knew that practical courses were a major feature of Lausanne Hotel Management College. Only after in-depth experience can we realize how different it is from the form of tourism education in China.
Lausanne Hotel Management College is famous for its rigorous scholarship and attaches great importance to the combination of tradition and modernity, trying to make teaching and practice reflect not only the technical service characteristics of traditional hotels, but also the essence of modern hotel management. It can be said that Lausanne Hotel Management College has become an internationally renowned institution of higher learning in the hotel industry, and its distinctive characteristics, practicality, tradition and modernity are the key points.
With the gradual integration of China's economy into the world economy, Lausanne Hotel Management Institute also turned its attention to China, an ancient oriental country with rapid development of tourism and hotel industry, and began to cooperate with China's tourism industry four years ago to train middle and senior managers in China's hotel industry. In the past four years, more than 340 hotel general managers or senior managers from China have received short-term training in this college. The college also reached a cooperation agreement with Shanghai Jinjiang Group International Management Company, and sent experts to the company's training center to teach as planned every year. In recent years, especially during the tenure of former President Ms. Jeddah and current President Mr. Torriani, the cooperation projects and scale between the two sides have been further expanded and achieved good results, which has made the college leadership full of confidence in the China market. On June 5438+ 10 last year, Mr. Torriani visited China at the invitation of the relevant departments of the National Tourism Administration and participated in the International Forum on Chinese and Foreign Hotels held in Haikou. After visiting some high-star hotels in Beijing and Shanghai, he put forward the idea of multidisciplinary, multi-level, high-quality and extensive cooperative training. Especially in providing hotel management consulting and training hotel professional managers, he expressed his willingness to cooperate with China in all aspects. Mr. Torriani also told Mr. Zhang, a China consultant and representative in China who accompanied him, that I would use the strength of more than 5,000 alumni of the College in the world, especially in Hong Kong, to strengthen the international exchange of the hotel industry in China and improve the overall management level of the hotel industry in China. He also said that after returning to China, he must win the support of the Swiss federal government and further strengthen cooperation with China.
"Our college is a non-profit social welfare organization. In China, any hotel consulting or training institution labeled "Lausanne" has nothing to do with us.
Before studying in Lausanne, I specially interviewed Mr. Hyde, vice chairman of the International Exchange Committee of Lausanne Hotel Management College, and Mr. Dean, external director of Lausanne Hotel Management College, and had a pleasant exchange on the college's views on the China market and China students, the college's enrollment standards, and the prospects for cooperation between the college and China. Talking about the cooperation with China to hold a training course for hotel managers, Mr. Hyde said that for Lausanne Hotel Management College, there is no doubt that China is now the largest market and an important part of the school's development plan. Holding training courses is of great significance for improving the level of service industry practitioners in China. However, the hotel staff training in China focuses on long-term academic exchanges, rather than taking them as business opportunities. The most important difference from other hotel schools is that our college is a non-profit social welfare organization. Therefore, the contact between the College and China is carried out through our China consultant Mr. Zhang and our China partner-Kang Hui Travel Agency Co., Ltd., and at the same time, we also cooperate with China Hotel Industry Association and hotel group companies in many aspects. The college has never set up an enrollment point in China or entrusted any company to enroll students. In China, any hotel consulting or training institution labeled "Lausanne" has nothing to do with Lausanne Hotel Management College.
Regarding the present situation and prospect of hotel industry in China, Mr. Hyde thinks that China is undergoing great changes. Joining the WTO and hosting the Olympic Games have made China more and more open, changing and developing. At present, the hardware and software of China hotel industry are not worrying. Because tourists in China have seen the world in the next few years, it is very important to provide them with satisfactory services. Hotel employees in China should be aware of the new international competition standards. This standard is not only for five-star hotels. The development of tourism needs waiters and taxi drivers in two or three-star hotels to provide their guests with standardized and good services, rather than only five-star hotels have such service quality. Mr Hyde thinks that there are some famous engineering colleges in China, but there is no world-class hotel education college like Lausanne Hotel Management College. China needs at least one or two such universities. To establish such an institution of higher learning, firstly, education should be attractive, secondly, the government should attach importance to it and give it support. He said that statistics show that 60% of the hotel's problems are caused by the lack of training of employees. Hotel industry is different from IT industry. In the IT industry, machines are everything. In hotel industry, people are the most important factor. Human factors and good service can make a good hotel building a good hotel, which is the embodiment of the important role of human factors in the service industry. All these require good and uninterrupted training to achieve. Mr. Hyde was deeply impressed by the China students who went to the college for further study. He praised China students for their rich professional experience and active exploration of advanced management experience. Mr. Hyde said that in view of the time, characteristics and needs of China students, the college provides students with a very professional, familiar and understanding education. The course design aims to let students know as much as possible about the international advanced hotel management status and the teaching mode of Lausanne Hotel Management College. Try to give students a concept and atmosphere in a short time.
The "Lausanne model" combining theory with practice was initiated by Lausanne Hotel Management College, so the college attaches great importance to the professional background and quality of students. The enrollment brochure of the college clearly requires that the applicant must have a secondary school education and a certificate of continuous work in a hotel or restaurant for one year (the internship certificate of a hotel or restaurant run by the applicant's relatives is invalid). Compared with other foreign universities, Lausanne Hotel Management College is strict in entrance and exit. The quality of freshmen and graduates is equally guaranteed. So, what are the criteria for Lausanne Hotel Management College to accept international students from China? Mr. Dean said that in addition to the above two conditions, students should also have a TOEFL score of 550 or above in English. Because the common language of the international service industry is English, it is best for students to have a good English education background and at least a very good English or French level.
The extensive influence of Lausanne Model has made Swiss tourism education, especially the education and training of hotel management, a household name in China. The qualifications of Swiss tourist hotels are also getting higher and higher. The famous AHMA professional manager certificate of international hotel industry usually gives the graduates of Lausanne Hotel Management College a "green light". No wonder people regard the graduation certificate of EHL (the abbreviation of Lausanne Hotel Management Institute) as a "golden school". Therefore, in recent years, many young China students and their parents have studied hotel management in Switzerland at all costs. However, because many people don't know much about the Swiss education system and school rules, some private hotel schools with poor qualifications and illegal intermediaries at home and abroad have an opportunity. Since 2000, the news that China students were cheated in Swiss schools has been reported in newspapers. In this regard, Mr. Hyde pointed out that some schools are indeed ruining the reputation of Swiss hotel schools. Fame and word of mouth are the most important things for Lausanne Hotel Management College. At present, Lausanne Hotel Management College has students from 7 1 countries and regions. The marketing strategy of the college is not to advertise or sell degrees, but to let students meet the requirements of the school through rigorous tests. He believes that China is very big, young people are enthusiastic, and there are many outstanding talents, but it needs guidance. Therefore, the College encourages China students to go to Lausanne Hotel Management College for high-level study, rather than the most basic study. He also stressed that
