Speaking several languages…a key skill
Excelia Tourism School is a leading applied management school, specialising in the fields of tourism, leisure, hospitality, event management and tourist destinations. It educates students to become socially-responsible and operational experts, capable of understanding all the facets and challenges of a rapidly changing tourism sector. The international dimension, incorporated into all Excelia programmes and schools, is even more pronounced and ingrained in the various Excelia Tourism School programmes, of which language learning is an integral and important part.
Students at Excelia Tourism School can choose to study in French (with 20% of less
ons in English) or 100% in English. During the course of their studies, they will have to select a second and a third language from German, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Arabic, Portuguese, Chinese or even sign language! Fully aware that linguistic skills prove a real advantage in the job market, Excelia Tourism School does its utmost to promote language learning.
In a context of increased globalisation, whether it be business transactions or even political or cultural interaction, mastery of several languages enhances employability and prospects for career development.
The skills involved in learning a language are as important as the language itself. Mastery of one or more languages is often a sign of adaptability and open-mindedness. By perfecting the language of another country, you also learn about its customs and culture.

Excelia has an international presence thanks to its overseas offices in India, China, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Morocco and in the Antilles/Americas. It has international recognition thanks to its performance in the major world rankings (Financial Times, QS, The Economist, Eduniversal, etc.).
Excelia’s international dimension is also apparent through the numerous partnerships it has developed with universities around the world. In 2021, Excelia passed the mark of 200 partner universities, of which 70 relate to Excelia Tourism School, demonstrating a mutual trust and a common desire for international mobility and exchanges.
