Learning in the field
Hands-on professional experience rooted in the realities of the industry
At CMH, students begin preparing for professional life from the very first years of their programme. Through immersive teaching, they build their skills via hands-on projects, field experience, competitions, placements and collaborations with partner businesses from the sector.
The aim: to allow every student to build their expertise, their professional network and their employability step by step, even before starting a work-study placement or entering the job market.
Immersive projects
La Guerre des Hôtels
The “La Guerre des Hôtels” project is an immersive entrepreneurial challenge in which the students on the MBA design and create a luxury hotel from A to Z: business plan, design, marketing strategy, food and beverage, human resources and guest experience. Mentored by professionals from the hotel industry, they then pitch their concept to a panel of experts and leading names in Parisian hospitality, putting the skills acquired during their studies into practice through a hands-on “learning by doing” approach.
Webinars
Designed to bring theory closer to practice, the webinars held as part of the programme offer a concrete insight into the current challenges facing luxury hospitality.
Each masterclass takes the form of a round table led by experts and professionals from the field: a unique opportunity to broaden your outlook, ask questions and draw inspiration from the speakers' own careers.
These experiences encourage dialogue, an international outlook and the building of a strong network among respected professionals.
Hotel visits
Visits to leading establishments offer genuine immersion in the world of luxury hospitality through a first-hand look at the finest hotels in France.
These field experiences are a chance to meet professionals from the sector, observe French luxury standards at first hand and gain a deeper understanding of the challenges, expectations and craftsmanship specific to high-end hospitality
They chose CMH
" CMH Nice stands out for a number of strengths that make it a particularly rewarding and career-focused programme. First of all, the teaching approach, centred on luxury and international business, gives you a comprehensive view of the high-end hotel sector. The classes taught in English are also hugely valuable and help us refine our vocabulary.
Thanks to our immersion in the workplace, we have the opportunity to put our knowledge into practice and develop concrete skills in real-world situations. This not only strengthens our employability, but also helps us build a network that is essential to our future careers. "
“I joined CMH in 2022 through a bridging route. After completing a two-year higher education diploma, I was able to join the school in the third year of the bachelor's programme following a preparatory course. As I did not come from a tourism or hospitality background, I had to discover this entirely new field.
I chose this school first of all because it offered exciting partnerships with legendary establishments such as the Ritz and the Cheval Blanc, and also because it gave me the opportunity to follow the programme as a work-study student, which appealed to me particularly. ”
“ I chose to join CMH Paris because the Bachelor programme on offer is very broad and allows you to explore a great many career paths within the hotel world, and within the luxury sector too. And since later on I would like a position that calls for management skills, it is important to have a comprehensive, wide-ranging knowledge of this environment. All the more so as the languages taught at CMH alongside English, such as Chinese and Russian, are essential in this professional world. I found everything I was looking for at this school! ”
" I discovered CMH at a careers fair, where I met some MBA students who told me all about the school.
I chose this school because it lets you start a work-study placement in the third year rather than the fourth as on the MBA, and also because it offers tuition in two foreign languages: Russian and Mandarin. To my mind, learning foreign languages, and with them discovering new cultures, is essential in the hospitality sector if you are to welcome guests from all over the world and respect their customs. "
“ CMH in Nice is the school that particularly caught my attention, because of its reputation and its programme specialising in luxury hotel management. Now in the second year of the European Bachelor Hotel and Tourism Management at CMH, I am working hard to strengthen my skills in this demanding field. My professional career began last year with an internship at the Fairmont Monte Carlo as a guest relations ambassador. CMH gave me a great deal of support in my search for a host company. Our lecturers gave us invaluable advice on luxury companies and on how to apply effectively. The school also organised recruitment days with luxury hotels, making it much easier to meet recruiters. ”
" When I enrolled, the school offered to help me find my work-study placement through its contacts in numerous hotels. As it happened, I had already interviewed at several establishments, including the one that had accepted me in my first year. Even so, the school was quick to advise me on the most interesting positions and on drawing up the contract. What I value most about work-study is being able to learn both on the job and in theory at school. This combination allows me to build real professional experience while deepening my theoretical knowledge. "
" I joined CMH two years ago now, and it was a real pleasure to arrive at a school with such a family feel, where student well-being is given a level of attention you simply do not find at other business schools or larger institutions. I am currently on a work-study placement at the magnificent Airelles Château de Versailles, Le Grand Contrôle. The hotel opened on 1 June 2021 and is designed as a genuine private residence, wonderfully intimate, with some 13 rooms, each one unique, set within the historic Grand Contrôle building (home to the Ministry of Finance from 1724 under Louis XV). I have now spent five years in work-study, and I have the resilience and the confidence to take my career abroad. "
" Looking back on CMH, I have wonderful memories overall. The work-study format was especially valuable, as it links theory directly to practice in the field. I was fortunate to be surrounded by industry professionals with genuine experience and a great deal to pass on, which is enormously enriching and practical for our future careers "
“ Within the school, I greatly appreciate the regular support given to students. There is genuine personalisation, just as there is in the world of luxury. The teaching team is always available to us for any questions we may have. The many job dating events are highly valued when looking for an internship or extra work, which matters a great deal to our professional training. The classes are extremely enriching, and the exchanges with our trainers, who come from the professional world themselves, give us a perspective that, in my view, is easier to grasp. Hotel visits allow us to see how they operate and to picture ourselves in a range of different roles. ”
