empowerment. Topics are explored through a combination of lectures, case studies, selfassessments and practical exercises. CONTINUOUS STREAMS Personal & Professional Development Project 60 hours of contact – 3 semester credits � Summary The PPD stream runs throughout the program and serves as a vehicle for developing the soft skills and competencies that are expected of leaders within the industry. While the MHA program as a whole represents a journey of learning, the PPD focuses on the development of professionalism and on personal growth: essential dimensions in a Master‟s year. Each student identifies areas for development, and then tracks the growth of these competencies over the year. Effective communication, both written and spoken, is essential throughout graduate study and a foundation for professional life. The course begins with an identification of learning styles, as the incoming graduates adjust to the new inter-cultural, reflective, challenging learning environment. The course helps in developing communicative confidence, business writing skills, academic standards and critical thinking. The approach encouraged is one of self-awareness, engagement and on-going reflection. In this way, the foundation is laid for that process of life-long learning on which promotion to senior positions, and indeed personal fulfilment, will depend. The course is highly individualized; each student has a faculty mentor for help and personal guidance in realizing their intended professional and personal goals. Students create a Career Portfolio which is both a record of learning experience and an in-depth reflection backed up by research, theory, and input from industry professionals. Final student presentations are made before a jury of external examiners. Career Workshops In parallel with the PPD stream, career workshops serve to develop students‟ professional approaches in terms of job hunting and managing their future career paths. Students are equipped with the skills necessary for a focused job search and for performing during interviews. Workshops additionally serve as a means to inspire students with a professional and proactive approach within their work environment and to help them manage their career paths on graduation. Strategic Investments 90 hours of contact – 6 semester credits � Summary Students will learn to develop a value-adding perspective to the process of strategic management. The framework of analysis will enable students to analyze organizations, marshal evidence to support conclusions drawn from the analysis, and engage in problem solving in all areas of strategic management. Specifically, the principle of co-alignment will be utilized; students will assess the strategy of a hospitality company through its strategic investments, core competencies, resource allocation, competitive methods and environmental analysis.

CAPSTONE PROJECT - Master Business Project (MBP) 180 hours of contact – 8 semester credits � Summary Students work in groups to complete a genuine business project. Groups plan, develop, and execute either a professional consultancy report for a sponsor or a formal business plan for an innovative entrepreneurial concept. The aim is to place students within a professional situation that requires them to apply the diverse range of skills and knowledge they have gained from their MHA learning experience. Students adapt to the requirements of their designated company and its project with the application of research methods, problem-solving techniques, analysis and synthesis skills, and professional presentation tools. Additionally, the project tests students‟ ability to communicate and negotiate with clients and colleagues. Students will gain a thorough understanding of the complexities of real projects and the intricate interweaving of multiple business aspects such as market studies, distribution, social and human aspects, finance, and negotiation. During the project, students will be reporting directly to and be evaluated by their designated company. EHL & INDUSTRY ACTIVITIES Distinguished Speakers & Conferences L‟Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne's Distinguished Speaker Series offers the leaders of the international hospitality industry a unique opportunity to share their understanding of the industry's current trends and challenges with students, alumni, and faculty. Distinguished Speakers include CEOs, entrepreneurs, management consultants and other leading professionals from Europe, North America and Asia. Although most speakers tend to come from various hospitality sectors, including hotels, restaurants, airlines, consulting and gaming, EHL increasingly takes the opportunity to welcome distinguished speakers from a wider selection of related industries. Excursions The purpose of class trips is to expose students to the real world of the hospitality industry. Visits are made to businesses ranging from hotels and catering companies to finance and consultancy headquarters. During these trips, students will experience different cultures and educational procedures. Students have participated in many visits within Switzerland, but have also journeyed further to destinations such as Paris, London, Dubai, Budapest, and Florence. Upon their return, students are usually required to present a project or an article to demonstrate the insights they have gained from the experience.
