Glion has long believed that there was a real need for masters-level education within the Industry to be delivered via online learning. Furthermore, research we undertook with industry-leading employers and hospitality professionals revealed that a Glion MBA program delivered online would open up a multitude of opportunities for busy working professional’s conscious of furthering their careers and seeking continuous education.
Dr Martin Senior, Program Leader for the Glion Online MBA, says that “in the past people could move up the career ladder on experience alone, nowadays we are seeing that employers are also asking for a high-level of education from working professionals looking to climb the career ladder.”
Dr Senior continues by explaining that “the Online MBA program balances international management theory with practical case studies of real life problems within the wider service industries. Our fantastic online learning environment will give our students the unique opportunity to interact with a highly international group of student peers.”
