Course Description

A proven pathway into the hospitality industry for career changers and recent graduates.

Combining intensive, applied academic study with a six-month professional internship, the Postgraduate Diploma (PGD) from Les Roches is purpose-designed to offer the fastest possible route onto the hospitality management career ladder.

As well as learning from world class faculty, students also benefit from highly personalized career support, an immersive field trip offering exceptional networking opportunities, as well as the global recognition of the Les Roches name.

This program is perfect for:

– Career switchers

– Recent graduates 

Entry Requirements

A copy of academic credentials (Degree, final official transcript for the full degree program). The school accepts documents in English, or one of the Swiss national languages, i.e. French, German and Italian. If not, an official notarized translation in English will be required.

Postgraduate Diploma applications from non-degree holders with extensive documented work experience will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Non-degree holders may qualify for a Professional Development Diploma, not a Postgraduate Diploma.

Work experience is preferred but not required.
