Sommet Education: New Blended Learning Programs for Bachelor and Master Students

Sommet Education, a leading hospitality education group, is reinforcing its study portfolio with a wide range of flexible learning solutions including blended learning programs.

New Bachelor students are offered the possibility of a full first semester on-line or partially at home and on campus. These curriculum options enable students to start the next Bachelor intake in March 2021 remotely while providing an efficient solution to travel restrictions and sanitary situation.

Sommet Education’s network consists of first-class higher education hospitality and culinary art schools Les Roches, Glion Institute of Higher Education and Ecole Ducasse.

“Glion Connect” & “Les Roches Connect”

The Sommet Education group has created a unique learning solution available at Glion Institute of Higher Education and Les Roches entitled “Glion Connect” and “Les Roches Connect”.

Through the blended learning solution, Bachelor students have two remote learning options. They have the possibility to study 10 weeks at home followed by 10 weeks on campus to complete the first semester or to study 20 weeks at home and complete their first semester remotely. The learning outcomes equal to a first semester spent fully on campus.

Within the program students also have the opportunity to start their internship in Semester 2 as usual or postpone it to a later date and pursue directly with an academic semester.

Master Degrees

The innovative combination of physical and digital teaching is also an option in Master Degrees which highly increases the accessibility to the Glion and Les Roches Master level programs.

Students will have the possibility to pursue 100 percent of their degree on campus, 100 percent remotely, or they can also choose to study remotely until they feel ready or they are able to join the campus.

Personalized career services will be equally accessible to all Bachelor and Master students studying on campus or remotely.

Career support includes bespoke career counseling, online interview techniques, LinkedIn profile set-up, career workshops, and access to career opportunities via the schools’ internship and job platforms.

Remote students will be introduced to their local alumni office to help them become more closely connected to their school community.
