Swiss Education Group schools dominate top 10 hospitality institutions worldwide in QS University Rankings 2021

In the latest QS World University Rankings, published on Wednesday, 3 March, Swiss Education Group schools dominate 5 of the top 10 positions in the Hospitality and Leisure Management category. This performance not only reflects the excellent quality of the academic programs offered at the schools, but also the international reputation held with top employers and partners.

Swiss Hotel Management School (SHMS) secured the 4th spot in the global ranking, making it the fifth year in a row that the school has been ranked one of the top 10 institutions in the world for Hospitality and Leisure Management. An impressive headway into the top 10 was made by all of our other schools, Hotel Institute Montreux (6th), César Ritz Colleges Switzerland (7th), Culinary Arts Academy Switzerland (8th), and the newly-merged with SHMS, IHTTI School of Hotel Management (10th).

This outstanding performance reflects the high-level professionalism of our faculty and staff, and quality of the education programs at each school. Over the years, our schools have developed strong academic and industry partnerships, delivering highly relevant curricula, supporting student employability and career development, and building a global alumni network.

“We are extremely proud of the achievements of our schools and grateful for the support from our academic and industry partners worldwide. As the largest private hospitality, business, and culinary educator in Switzerland, we continue with our unwavering commitment to providing world-class education and transforming lives.”
