In Thailand, Vatel partners with Silpakorn University, one of Thailand’s oldest and most prestigious universities. Silpakorn University International College was established at Silpakorn University in 2003 to give students the appropriate professional skills that are necessary to cope with the dynamic employment demands of modern society and thereby increasing students’ opportunities of success upon graduation.

This international double degree program offers students the opportunity to gain a greater understanding of cross-cultural management issues within a global working context through:

Classes are taught in English | Dedicated professional training facilities on campus (Vatel Restaurant and Café, demonstration kitchen, bar, room division) | International internships in France to build professional experience | Opportunity to participate in the Marco Polo student exchange program.

Courses taught have the right balance between academic theory and professional practice.

For the theoretical aspect, students study management techniques, administration, finance, marketing, and human resources.

Students must also be able to check what they have learned through hands-on, professional experience and this is where the professional training structures are present for Kitchen, Food and Beverage, Housekeeping and Front Office training sessions.

To validate this experience, students conduct mandatory internships at one of Vatel’s partner hotel chains throughout the world.
