Schools and universities

Lausanne is popular with foreign students, whose higher-education choices include the University of Lausanne and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, the Business School Lausanne, and the MBA/EMBA programs at IMD.

Another school, Lemania College, teaches French to foreigners; it also has summer recreational courses for teenagers in French and English, as well as commercial courses in French.

The Lausanne Hotel School is internationally renowned. The school, which offers a Bachelor of Science degree, has been grooming professionals for the hospitality industry since 1893.

Younger foreign pupils can study at the International School of Lausanne (a non-profit, English-language day school with some 580 students of ages 3-18 from 50 countries) and Gan Chlomo (a.k.a. the  Lausanne Jewish School, which caters to children from preschool through fourth grade.)
