AIHM HIGHER

For many years, Switzerland has set the gold standard for hospitality management education—and for good reasons. Swiss hotel schools are excellent. That’s why AIHM offers a Swiss-style education in Academic Association with Les Roches. 

If you’re my age, you remember learning in school on a slate chalkboard and an abacus. A “computer” sounded like a strange, cute little creature. And the internet? Is that a tool for catching fish?

I’m joking. Mostly! But the tools available for learners today have evolved dramatically. Today’s young people have the opportunity to learn in so many new and different ways. As educators, we have the possibility and the responsibility to turbo-boost our students’ learning with a wide range of modern tactics and up-to-date technology.

On behalf of the entire faculty and staff, Warren Stanworth, the Academic Dean, is thrilled to extend a warm welcome to the new students as they embark on their journey in the Global Hospitality Management programme at AIHM.

This coming week we welcome a new cohort of students for their very first semester of AIHM’s Bachelor Business Administration in Global Hospitality Management. As always, this is one of my favourite times of the year. If you are one of the new members of our community, I want you to know how special this week is for all of us. Your passion, your vision and your potential to transform the hospitality field inspire us. As we embark on this journey together, I’d like to share with you and our other readers, the ‘why’ behind AIHM, the deeply held beliefs that drive everything we do.

If you’re reading this post, you’re probably exploring your options for the future. Choosing a university is one of the most exciting and important decisions you’ll ever make. Where will you go? What will your university experience look like? Where do you want it to lead you?

Many hotel school students dream of a career that takes them around the globe. What could be more exciting than a life spent exploring the world, getting to know different countries and their peoples, seeing extraordinary sights and making unforgettable memories for others?

In this AIHM Higher blog post, Matthew Fryar—the General Manager of Avani Pattaya Resort—sits down with Samantha Lauver-Marion—Head of Student Engagement at AIHM—to discuss the Young Talent Scholarship, a fantastic initiative open to graduating high school students in Thailand.

Think back to your school days, all the way to the beginning. Which classes were your favourites? When you recall the class activities that made you most excited, what comes to mind? Maybe you loved science classes with hands-on experiments—mixing chemicals in the laboratory to see what the reaction would be or dissecting frogs to discover how all the pieces fit together like a fantastically engineered machine.
