Glion drops a new Executive Master’s to shape the next-gen hospitality leaders

Glion Institute of Higher Education just entered its executive era. The globally respected Swiss institution has launched its Executive Master of Advanced Studies in Hospitality and Business Leadership — a high-impact, 12-month program crafted for professionals ready to level up and lead the future of global hospitality.

This part-time power move blends flexible online learning with an immersive, on-campus week in Switzerland — serving up strategy, innovation, and real-world skills on a silver platter. Ideal for rising managers, entrepreneurs, career shifters, and seasoned pros looking to get legit leadership credentials, this Master’s is all about real growth, not just resume sparkle.

Designed for execs, not textbooks

Over four deep-dive modules, learners will explore topics like disruptive business models, sustainability, corporate finance, digital marketing, and org transformation. You’ll be learning with — and from — an international peer group, while balancing a full-time role. The chef’s kiss? A final Business Research Project that ties it all back to your career goals.

“This isn’t your average Master’s,” says Dr. Antonina Santalova, Academic Dean. “It’s intensive, flexible, and designed to spark transformation — whether you’re climbing the ladder or building your own.”

The Montreux campus Residential Week brings it all to life with hands-on workshops, industry visits, and the kind of networking you actually want to do.

For the bold, the curious, and the global

This Executive Master welcomes ambitious humans from all walks — mid-career managers, entrepreneurs, and even professionals from outside the hospitality scene who are eyeing a smart pivot. The program brings together people who want to lead across cultures, sectors, and industries — all while earning a credential worth 60 ECTS (30 US credits).
