Academic

Bachelor Year 1

With weeks of theoretical courses followed by weeks of professional experience in application structures right on the campus, students can immediately apply what they’ve learned in management, marketing, human resources and professional culture. All students also study two foreign languages, including English, which is indispensable for careers in the hospitality industry.

Internship

Bachelor year 1

The first internship, selected by the school, takes place in the country over 4 to 5 months, either in summer or in winter. Working at a hotel during the entire peak season, students learn how to master basic but essential tasks at the front desk and in restaurant services. By carrying out the daily work their teams will do, these future hotel managers acquire credibility with those they will be managing during their careers.

Academic

Bachelor year 2

In the classroom, new courses such as law and the tourist economy complete the curriculum for students. During practical application weeks, students begin their managerial work: they supervise 1^st year students while being managed themselves by 3^rd year students. Students can also apply to do their 2^nd year abroad, in a different Vatel School, in the framework of the Marco Polo program, when this is accepted by the School Director.

Internship

Bachelor year 2

As is the case for the first year, schools choose the second internship. This internship lasts for 5 to 6 months, and also has an operational dimension, but it takes place in a foreign country, preferably an English-speaking country to help students develop their linguistic skills and their cross-cultural qualities.

Academic

Bachelor year 3

Students continue to acquire financial, legal, economic and linguistic skills that they’ll be needing when managing a hotel. Using concrete case studies, they develop their analytical capacities and decision-making skills. In their professional experience, they manage second year students and make sure they are conveying the correct messages to first year students.
