Our smaller classes are a key advantage for studying at hotel school

At Hotel Management School Geneva, our students are never just a number, our smaller classes have resulted in a warm and welcoming sense of community.

We know that the biggest drawback to a traditional school or university is the lack of individualized learning and the large, auditorium-style classrooms. At Hotel Management School Geneva, we operate differently. We believe that each student should feel seen and heard. We think that students learn faster and progress through the material quicker in smaller classes.
