Founded in 1982, César Ritz Colleges has been redefining what it means to lead. Inspired by the pioneering mindset of our namesake, we believe leadership isn’t a title – it’s a mindset shaped through action.
Our mission is to equip students with the strategic clarity, confidence, and global perspective to lead transformative C-suite careers in hospitality, entrepreneurship, and beyond.
César Ritz Colleges is a University of Applied Sciences Institute, officially accredited by the Swiss Accreditation Council. This distinction ensures our degrees meet the highest academic and industry standards, and are recognised by employers and institutions worldwide.
With two Swiss-accredited degrees – including our Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Business Management and our Master of Science in Leadership – we offer a rigorous, respected, and globally relevant education.
We design education around real-world success. Students complete two paid international internships and benefit from a dedicated career services team that supports personal and professional growth.
Our graduates join a powerful global network of 12,500 César Ritz alumni – 40% of whom now hold C-Suite roles, and 35% who have launched their own businesses.
Our campus in Brig–just 20 minutes from César Ritz’s birthplace– is an inspiring setting of Swiss Alps, bold ideas, and focused learning. It’s strategically placed between the international hubs of Milan and Zurich and serves as home to a vibrant student community.
With independent-living accommodation, multi- cultural immersion, and a strong peer network, students experience the perfect blend of challenge and support in a one-of-a kind creative hub.
