Les Roches International School of Hotel Management will launch a Master of Science in Hospitality Leadership programme, with classes starting in January 2015.

It will be a two-semester programme that will allow students to pursue courses at Les Roches campuses in Bluche, Switzerland. The degree’s curriculum is built on three pillars: leading oneself, leading others, and leading businesses and organisations.

Courses will focus on training students how to effectively lead virtual and international teams, strategic management, conflict and negotiation and innovation and creativity.

The curriculum will provide students with a global view on hospitality leadership to help them understand what it means to be a strategic and successful leader in the industry and help them complete complex scenario analyses that lead to creative solutions.

“This program will give students a unique academic experience which will position them at the forefront of the hospitality industry. We will encourage them to develop new learning approaches and adapt to a global business environment in the hospitality sector.”

Les Roches is recognised by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research of the UAE, which allows UAE nationals to apply for full scholarships if they are accepted for undergraduate and postgraduate studies.
