Switzerland

At Glion, you will be the driver of your own student experience and have the chance to try many new things.

You will automatically become part of our Student Government Association (SGA), where you can make your voice heard, organize committees and events and take part in the leadership of the school.

Our students also run a number of specialist committees, dedicated to the arts, the environment, charitable activities and more.

Joining a committee will allow you to explore your creativity and personal interests, while developing leadership and management skills by organizing events..

Examples include the Arts Committee, which provides a platform to celebrate the creative talent of students across all campuses; the Green Committee, which has a mission is to raise environmental awareness both on campus and in the local community; and the Networking Committee, which brings major industry players from varied backgrounds on campus to share their experiences.

The Glion Ambassador Program supports students in developing and improving their leadership skills; which in turn strengthens future employability.

Selected each semester by Student Affairs, our Ambassadors aim to improve student life through peer-to-peer support, organizing events and activities on campus, while also representing the school during open days and VIP visits.

Any Glion student can apply to become an Ambassador, with Ambassadorships available across all academic semesters taught in Switzerland.

Eta Sigma Delta International Hospitality Management Society (ESD) is an international honor society for hospitality students. The organization recognizes the excellent performance of hospitality students in academics, professionalism, and service to the community. The professional benefits of Eta Sigma Delta include an opportunity for outstanding students to distinguish themselves in the eyes of educators, recruiters, and industry executives in an increasingly competitive industry.

Studying in Switzerland puts you at the heart of Europe; with capital cities, five-star attractions and many places of cultural and artistic interest all within close reach.

Some of the cities that our students regularly visit are Milan, Lyon, Annecy, Chamonix and Turin. In addition, students can join trips that are more adventurous or sports-focused, such as canyoning, paragliding, skiing, tobogganing or rafting.

Sometimes excursions are organized around events, such as the Lausanne Marathon, or to theme parks like Europa Park. Other trips include paintballing, cultural outings, vineyards, the Strasbourg Christmas Market and Swiss Discovery Tours.

Switzerland is a place where happiness comes as standard – it is ranked among the world’s three happiest countries, according to the World Happiness Report.
