Partnership with Assumption University Thailand

Business Students studying at Assumption University, a prestigious University in Thailand keen to support students seeking to specialize in hospitality, now have the occasion to do so by complementing their education with the world leader, César Ritz Colleges Switzerland. On May 23, 2014 the President of Assumption University, REV. BRO Bancha Saenghiran F.S.G., Ph.D. and Mr. Florent Rondez, Swiss Education Group’s Chief Executive Officer signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in Thailand formalizing the two institutions common intention.

César Ritz Colleges Switzerland is a leading provider of specialized hospitality and tourism education combining cutting edge academic training with hands-on internships in leading hotels around the world. This Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) offers Assumption University students the opportunity to obtain a Double-Degree at Undergraduate or Postgraduate level based on the programme they have been admitted into in Thailand.

Presently, César Ritz Colleges Switzerland has welcomed five students from Assumption University studying at the different campuses in Switzerland; three are enrolled in the Bachelor of International Business Degree in Hotel and Tourism Management, and two in the Master of Arts Degree in International Business in Hotel and Tourism Management.

According to Ms Tarsila Fercher Geis, Director of Business Development, finding ways to offer feasible pathways has been high on the list of priorities for both institutions. With the MoU in place the number of students coming from Thailand to Switzerland will more than double in 2015 thereby generating an important number of common ambassadors who will enjoy the academic and professional network benefits of this exclusive global partnership.
