The Mission of LRG-UAS
The mission of the University of Applied Sciences is to support the education of an international student body committed to leadership positions in service industries, such as hospitality or tourism management.
Our vision is that our graduates will embody the values of rigour in their work, a strong team spirit, flexibility in problem solving, dedication to service, a global perspective, and respect for other cultures.
We realise this vision in our undergraduate programmes by providing close faculty-student interaction in both traditional class-based and problem-based learning environments. These environments give students the practice, theories, and support to develop values, the essential tools for immediate employment, and the desire for continued learning as they progress in their careers.
Our graduate programmes similarly balance theory with practice to meet the individualised needs of professionals. The University of Applied Sciences also seeks to undertake applied research relevant to the development of the Hospitality Industry and seeks to share that both internationally amongst peers and within the institution as part of our faculty teaching and learning strategies.
Honouring and building on the strong reputations, traditions, and histories of the Glion Institute of Higher Education* and Les Roches International School of Hotel Management*, LRG University of Applied Sciences, undertakes to provide the strategic vision and support that enable its faculty to:
- Educate students in purposefully designed learning environments
- Offer and develop programs responsive to the needs of the market in service industries
- Design programs that reflect European standards of quality and integrate applied research
- Enrol an appropriately-qualified, multi-national student body
- Connect experience with theory during both academic and internship semesters
- Ensure that students understand the approaches to knowledge of the broad areas of human learning
- Equip students with core, transferable skills such as communications, creativity, and critical thinking
- Assure that graduates meet the intended educational outcomes
- Create a learning and working environment that is transparent, operates with integrity and is respectful to all members of the community.
* GIHE and Les Roches, our sister schools are accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) in the USA and are not part of the federally authorised UAS.
