Dubai, January 13, 2012: The Emirates Academy of Hospitality Management, one of the world’s leading business hotel schools and a part of the Dubai-based luxury hospitality company, Jumeirah Group, has again achieved outstanding outcomes in the recent International and Domestic Student Barometer survey (ISB-SB™) conducted by the International Centre of Excellence in Tourism and Hospitality Education, THE-ICE.
The Academy has participated in THE-ICE ISB-SB annual benchmarking survey, conducted in partnership with the International Graduate Insight Group (i-graduate), since 2011. It is the world’s only tourism-, hospitality-, events- and culinary arts- student focused satisfaction survey, available exclusively for its member institutions, comprising of quality universities and private hotel schools from some 10 countries.
The survey instrument, International Student Barometer™ (ISB™) is designed and developed for THE-ICE by i-graduate, an independent education benchmarking and research organisation. It conducts the largest annual study of international students in the world, with feedback from over 1,000,000 respondents from 1,200 institutions in 24 countries across 5 continents.
THE-ICE ISB-SB survey benchmarked the responses of students from The Academy amongst peer institutions within the global network of THE-ICE. Consistently the findings indicate that The Academy has one of the best learning and safest living environments in the world.
The Academy has also outperformed other institutions in areas such as “Accommodation Quality”, “Living Costs” and “Work Experience”. Commenting on the results, Ron Hilvert, Managing Director of The Academy said, “These results are true reflections of our culture here as we pride ourselves with providing our students with a top quality study environment.”
The Academy was established in 2001 and has since grown to about 300 students from over 60 countries.
