Les Roches-Gruyère University of Applied Sciences is a new university that received official federal authorization on the 2nd of July 2008 from the Swiss government. This new institution is the first private University of Applied Sciences ever approved in Switzerland in the hotel management field.
In January 2009, it launched a Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management.
Students are able to choose between two different specializations. The first one is in international hospitality management while the second specialization is in food, beverage and operations management. Depending on the pathway chosen, programmes are taught in different locations including our Bulle campus in the canton of Fribourg and our Bluche campus, in the canton of Valais, for the specialization in food, beverage and operations management.
This new institution uses the resources and facilities of the highly-reputed Swiss institutions of Les Roches International School of Hotel Management and Glion Institute of Higher Education*. Both of these institutions are ranked among world’s leading hospitality management schools for an international career (TNS, global survey, September 2010)
