EHL Group reveals new Singapore Campus for hospitality management

Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne (EHL) has secured a Singapore location for its future campus following the receipt of the EduTrust certification from Singaporean authorities last June.

With clear intent to expand the international opportunities of its students, EHL has been authorised to deliver its Bachelor in International Hospitality Management in Singapore. Today, the world’s top hospitality management university has secured the location of its first international campus. The magnificent building located at 3 Lady Hill Road in the Orchard Road area will receive its first cohort in the fall of 2021. In the meantime, the Group plans to deliver short courses on site as early as July 2020.

EHL Group Chief Executive Michel Rochat noted “we very much look forward to expanding our connection to the local community and participate in this thriving environment. It is with enthusiasm and conviction that we embark on this new adventure. Our commitment to the local economy will start at 3 Lady Hill Road and extend throughout the country, as we hope to strengthen our existing ties to the Singaporean hospitality industry.”

Once a boarding school for the children of British soldiers, the former Kinloss House has been completely restored to its former classic beauty. This 2,400metre2 building set on 1.9 hectares of land used to be the executive training centre for a major global company. The property houses classrooms, meeting rooms, a large multi-purpose hall and numerous break out spaces. This location has been selected based on several factors such as potential for student life, quality and aesthetics, flexibility to accommodate modern learning formats, its peaceful environment to facilitate learning, proximity to some of the main touristic landmarks and an opportunity to offer an EHL experience with a genuinely local flavour.

EHL Campus (Singapore) is set to deliver the same internationally recognised “Bachelor of Science in International Hospitality Management” degree as EHL Campus Lausanne, adding first-hand local market knowledge and experience to the curriculum. This new campus aims to expand the opportunities for future hospitality leaders to thrive in an international landscape.

Candidates can apply to start their Preparatory Year at the EHL Campus Lausanne in September 2020 and then begin their Bachelor course as the first cohort at EHL Campus (Singapore) in the fall of 2021.
