Undergraduate degree - Bachelor

Theory / Practical

Year 1 

With weeks of theoretical courses followed by weeks of professional experience in application structures right on the campus, students can immediately apply what they’ve learned in management, marketing, human resources and professional culture. All students also study two foreign languages, including English, which is indispensable for careers in the hospitality industry.

Internship

Bachelor year 1 

The first internship, selected by the school, takes place in the country over 4 to 5 months, either in summer or in winter. Working at a hotel during the entire peak season, students learn how to master basic but essential tasks at the front desk and in restaurant services. By carrying out the daily work their teams will do, these future hotel managers acquire credibility with those they will be managing during their careers.

Theory / Practical

Year 2 

In the classroom, new courses such as law and the tourist economy complete the curriculum for students. During practical application weeks, students begin their managerial work: they supervise 1st year students while being managed themselves by 3rd year students. Students can also apply to do their 2nd year abroad, in a different Vatel School, in the framework of the Marco Polo program, when this is accepted by the School Director.

Internship

Bachelor year 2

As is the case for the first year, schools choose the second internship. This internship lasts for 5 to 6 months, and also has an operational dimension, but it takes place in a foreign country, preferably an English-speaking country to help students develop their linguistic skills and their cross-cultural qualities.

Theory / Practical

Year 3

Students continue to acquire financial, legal, economic and linguistic skills that they’ll be needing when managing a hotel. Using concrete case studies, they develop their analytical capacities and decision-making skills. In their professional experience, they manage second year students and make sure they are conveying the correct messages to first year students.

Internship

Bachelor year 3 

The third-year internship, which is an operational one and lasts for 5 to 6 months, takes place either in Europe or abroad.

MASTER FULL TIME

Academic

MBA year 1 

When they have acquired the basics in hotel management and professional culture, students can focus on analytical methods and decision-making as managers.

Academic

MBA year 2

Studying key strategic rules and applying them in international companies from all fields leads students to define concrete examples of management in the tourism and hospitality management fields.

In their 5th year of school, students can choose from one of the 10 Vatel MBA Specializations.  

Internship

MBA year 2

To get used to the recruitment process, students who will soon graduate look for their own internships in Switzerland or abroad, in line with their professional objectives. This last internship, which must be validated by the school and which lasts for six months, aims to have students practice highly strategic managerial functions. Internships in Switzerland are paid CHF 2 212.- per month.

Rodrigues - Hotel training: A 100% Rodrigues team to run the first private school






Since last October, the Vatel Hotel School (Mauritius) has opened a Rodriguan branch that currently hosts 20 young people from the island, enrolled in the course leading to the Bsc International Hotel and Tourism Management. To lead the first private paid hotel school on the island, Vatel Maurice called on Issana Agathe, a 28-year-old Rodriguan girl. In the kitchen or in the classroom, a well-honed Rodriguan team is in charge of training the next professionals in the hotel industry.

To successfully carry out its Rodrigues Tourism training center in Rodrigues, the Vatel International Hospitality School in Mauritius trusted two young women. In this case Issana Agathe, Business Development Manager and Anne Lise Philippe-Félicité, lecturer and trainer in "self-image". Met in the new premises of the Rodriguaise branch, in Contour Oblass, not far from Port-Mathurin, the two young women do not hide their legitimate pride by talking about their respective responsibilities.




Elegant and decided, Issana Agathe and her colleague, Anne Lise Philippe-Félicité, immediately show the confidence and enthusiasm of this new generation of patriotic soul, which Rodrigues badly needs to move forward. Saying they are also aware of the challenge presented to them by Vatel Mauritius, Issana Agathe, 28, and Anne Lise Philippe-Félicité, are well aware that the success of the first private school of its kind in Rodrigues is based on them. But their shoulders are solid and they can also count on the chef Jean-Alain Jolicoeur - also Rodriguais and freshly inducted disciple of Escoffier - who provides training for cooking students. After a long career in Mauritius where he directed the kitchen of a hotel group, this resident of Graviers, in the south-east of the island, also decided to return to the country to try this new adventure.

MADAGASCAR

On the 29th of September, the start of the new year for the twenty or so students enrolled in the Vatel training course. This school dedicated to the management of international hospitality and established in 25 countries opens for the first time its doors at home. "We have a level of excellence recognized internationally, our degree in international hospitality and master of international hotel management are highly sought after in the labor market," said Falihery Ramakavelo, General Manager of Vatel Madagascar. 

A reference in the industry, the Vatel Group has trained 27,000 graduates in 30 years, 80% of whom have a career in hospitality and tourism, and occupy positions such as managing director of a hotel chain or establishment. "Vatel is a franchise. With its experience as the world's leading hotel management and tourism management group, we want to bring hotel training to Madagascar to another level, by really professionalising this sector, "says Holinirina Rakotonomenjanahary, head of research and development schooling.

"The recruitment of candidates is strict with selection on file (bac level minimum), writing two to four pages on the motivations of the student and his choice of hospitality, psycho-technical tests and maintenance. Classes are held in the premises of the former Trano Vola Appart Hotel, which has been transformed since 1 July into a hotel and restaurant. The training includes six months of courses and practical applications alternating every other week, plus four months of internship in a company. This is the Vatel method, initiated in 1981 by Alain Sebban, the group's founding president.

"The diplomas delivered are both Malagasy, French because emanating from Vatel and European if the student chooses to pass his defense in English (Eurodip diploma)". An exchange program called Marco Polo even allows, from the second year of license, to continue in a Vatel school in another country. The second-year internship is mandatory for international students. On the program, management, management, marketing, but also how to make a bed, clean a hotel room, or serve at the table. The 14 rooms of the former Vola Appart Hotel and its restaurant are an excellent field of application for the students who can even live there in boarding school (150 euros in collocation or 200 euros only).

 




Opened on May 24, with a hundred guests attending the ceremony, Vatel Reunion is now a part of the large family of 40 schools of the 1st Worldwide Business School Group in Hospitality and Tourism Management, considered as the Best Hospitality Management School by professionals.

Chaired by Philippe and Ghislaine Lhuissier, the Vatel Reunion Directors, and Renaud Azema, the Vatel Mauritius Director, the ceremony was held in the charming Creole house where our school is located.

Located in the heart of the city of Saint Paul, near the city hall park and shops, Vatel Reunion will open its doors for the first students in the Bachelor in International Hotel Management course on September 25.

Just like the other 7,000 Vatel students throughout the world, Vatel Reunion students will be trained to be operational managers in International Hospitality and Tourism with a mixture of weeks of theoretical courses and weeks of professional experience in our partner hotels’ facilities.

As students, they can benefit from the strength of a network of 40 Vatel Campuses, and the possibility of studying on another Vatel Campus in their second year with the Marco Polo program.

When they graduate,they’ll become a part of the large family of 30,000 Vateliens, a world-wide network of engaged and interrelated professionals.

RWANDA

This new School will be directed by Nicole Bamukunde, a young Rwandese entrepreneur who studied at Vatel in France fifteen or so years ago, before working in high-profile jobs in local industries. She will be supported in her duties by the Vatel Mauritius team and in particular, Renaud Azema, the School’s Director.

Stakes are high for Rwanda, as one of its economic development strategies is increasing tourism. Hotels are growing by leaps and bounds, not just in Kigali, with business-based tourism, but also in Rubavu, on the border of the Republic of the Congo, in Karongi and Musanze, which are tourist resorts being built on the banks of Lake Kivu, where many private stakeholders are requesting the support of high-quality training initiatives.

And Rwanda, just like many other countries in Eastern and Southern Africa, suffers from the lack of domestic schools that are able to train managers and executives in tourism management, as well as in hotel management. As do Vatel Mauritius and Madagascar, the goal of Vatel Kigali is to correctly train local students to become operational managers, and in the future, senior executives.

Nonetheless, the analysis that Nicole Bamukunde recently carried out showed that local hotels, in order to attract international guests, must not only recruit new operational managers who comply with international standards, but also train these professionals to use these standards. But the program the Rwandese government put in place to improve customer care is merely made up of a few sessions showing trainees how to work on welcoming guests, and is far from satisfying visitors who are used to traveling in other touristic areas, where the welcome and service provided to guests are always top class.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.
