On the afternoon of September 9, 2024, representatives from the Swiss Education Group (SEG), including Mr. Hong Jiawei, the Senior Admissions Manager for China at the Swiss Hotel Management University, visited our college. The meeting took place in Conference Room 811 of the Comprehensive Building, where they exchanged ideas with college leaders, the head of the Management Department, and relevant personnel.
Vice President Xiao Qian briefly introduced the college's educational characteristics, professional system setup, existing cooperation with the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of the Grisons (FHGR) in Switzerland, and future directions for international exchanges and cooperation.
Mr. Hong Jiawei from SEG introduced the basic information about the group. SEG is the largest education group in Switzerland specializing in hospitality management, encompassing four universities: SHMS Swiss Hotel Management University, CRCS César Ritz Colleges Switzerland, HIM Swiss Business School, and CAAS Culinary Arts Academy Switzerland.
The head of the Management Department, Yang Shuqin, and the deputy head, Huang Xinyi, engaged in in-depth discussions with SEG representatives based on the current curriculum system of the Management Department and the established Sino-Swiss cooperative education foundation with FHGR.
Through this exchange, both parties agreed that there is vast potential for cooperation in talent joint cultivation and graduates' further education, given the current curriculum and training mode of the Management Department. Specific areas for potential cooperation include short-term teacher and student exchanges, visits by scholarly researchers, and opportunities for vocational college graduates to pursue undergraduate and graduate degrees in Switzerland.
The meeting concluded in an atmosphere of pragmatism, friendship, openness, and cooperation. In the future, both parties will continue to explore and strengthen exchanges, jointly promoting the internationalization of talent cultivation in the Management Department to a new level.
