Two programmes
– one ideology
SHL Schweizerische
Hotelfachschule
Luzern is one of the two original hotel
management schools in Switzerland and
offers programmes taught in English and
German. The Bachelor of Science in
Hospitality Management is a full-time,
four-year degree programme in English,
offered in cooperation with the University
of Applied Sciences and Arts Lucerne
(HSLU), accredited by the Swiss federal
government and in compliance with the
Bologna Declaration, using the European
Credit Transfer System (ECTS). The
renowned Diploma programme Dipl.
Hôtelière-Restauratrice / Hôtelier-
Restaurateur HF, fully taught in German, is
accredited by the Swiss federal government
as a tertiary level professional education.
The SHL ideology stems from the
founders’ passion for hospitality and desire
to provide young people with the best
opportunities to build their future careers
and to fulfil their potential in the hospitality
industry, one of the most fascinating and
exciting global industries.
Personal talent is multifaceted
Young people have all kinds of talents
in many different fields and subject
areas. SHL believes that the best way
to unlock students’ full potential and to
have an actual impact on their individual
development is to provide them with a solid
foundation of applicable knowledge and
transferable skills in hospitality leadership,
management, strategy and operations.
Through the theoretical classroom studies,
case studies, real-life business projects,
coaching and hands-on practical training,
lecturers give students all the tools for them
to unleash their maximum potential.
Environmental impact on
student learning
School location, infrastructure and services
play a significant role in shaping students’
successful learning process. How students
live, how they get around and what they
can do in their leisure time has a direct
impact on their student experience
and what they will achieve. At SHL,
these are factors that are paid a great
deal of attention to. The campus offers
state-of-the-art academic and practical
training facilities, as well as group rooms,
independent study spaces, creative and
lounge areas. Four F&B outlets provide
delicious, fresh meals and beverages.
Hotel SHL, where students live during
their on-campus semesters, mirrors a
modern city hotel, with various en-suite
room categories to choose from. In
addition to the spacious rooms, the student
hotel offers a Community Room with a
fully equipped kitchen and an attached
courtyard, laundry facilities, as well as a
large rooftop terrace.
Student life in Lucerne is rich in contrasts
and entertainment all year round. With
a variety of famous sights, its charming
Old Town with attractive shopping areas,
the town is a destination for visitors from
around the world. The SHL campus is a
10-minute walk away from the city centre.
