History

1954

The institution was originally formed in 1954 as an international boarding school called École des Roches, located in Switzerland's Canton of Valais region.

1979

École des Roches evolved to become the Les Roches Hotel & Tourism School and was recognized as the first hotel management school in Switzerland to offer its courses in English.

1995-1996

In 1995, the Les Roches Hotel and Tourism School founded their first international campus located in Marbella, Spain and under the name Swiss School of Hotel Management and Tourism in Spain. In 1996 the university inaugurated its current campus and soon thereafter became known as the Les Roches Marbella International School of Hotel Management.

2003

In 2003, the school became a member institution of Laureate International Universities, a private international network of degree-granting post-secondary institutions located around the world. During its time under the leadership Laureate International Universities, Les Roches Global Hospitality Education formed part of the organization's 75 accredited universities in 29 countries.

2004

Les Roches Global Hospitality Education became the first school in Spain to receive institutional accreditation from the New England Association of Schools & Colleges (NEASC) in the United States. NEASC is one of six regional accrediting associations recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.

Also in 2004, the campus continued its expansion with the addition of a new academic wing, an a la carte restaurant and adjoining kitchen operation, as well as doubling its on campus residence capacity and recreational areas.

2010-2013

In 2010 and again in 2013, the University was voted by the hospitality industry as the number one school in Spain for preparing students for an international career in hospitality management. This was the conclusion of a broad industry survey among hiring managers from international hospitality companies around the world. The research was conducted by Taylor Nelson Sofres (TNS) Travel & Tourism (U.K.), the world's largest provider of custom research and analysis. The primary purpose of this survey was to establish the relative 'ranking' of the various hospitality management schools who provide university-level programmes in Spain and from which international hospitality companies are likely to recruit staff.

2016

In 2016, the Les Roches network of campuses worldwide was acquired by Sommet Education

Academic structure

The university teaches undergraduate and postgraduate degree programs that specialize in international hospitality management. Undergraduate courses focus on developing advanced business management skills in hotel, restaurant, and service industry operations. The school places emphasis on combining core academic knowledge with hands-on experiential learning as the basis for its educational model. This is achieved by combining traditional classroom learning with purpose-built learning facilities that are designed to simulate a real world hotel environment. During the first two years of the undergraduate course students alternate weekly between craft-based learning classes in the school's simulated facilities and core business-related lecture subjects taught in the classroom. The postgraduate academic structure is identical in nature to the undergraduate program's, however the curriculum involves an accelerated immersion into key areas that takes into consideration the students' previous educational and professional background. Additionally, as part of the undergraduate programs, students complete between two and three internships in international hotels and hospitality related organizations. The postgraduate degree requires one internship semester to complete the program.
