Institut Lyfe Awarded 5 Palmes of Excellence by Eduniversal

Institut Lyfe received the highest distinction in the fields of gastronomy, hospitality, and luxury arts

Institut Lyfe, an international benchmark for management schools in Hospitality, Culinary Arts, and Pastry Arts, has been awarded the highest distinction in the Eduniversal 2025 rankings in the fields of gastronomy, hospitality, and luxury arts, with 5 Palms of Excellence.

We are proud to announce that, for our very first participation, our school has been awarded the 5 Palmes of Excellence by Eduniversal in the brand-new Arts & Luxury category.

Awarded in Indore, India, on November 12th, this distinction positions Institut Lyfe among global pioneers, recognized as a world-class hub for academic excellence and innovation.

This international recognition also reinforces the outstanding rankings of our Bachelors and MSc programs (our Bachelor in International Hospitality Management has been ranked number 1 for 15 years in a row in Eduniversal’s “Tourism & Hospitality Bachelors” ranking).

Launched in 2025, Eduniversal’s Schools of Excellence – Arts & Luxury category highlights institutions that combine creativity, craftsmanship, brand strategy, and management across sectors such as design, haute gastronomy, luxury, and heritage. Following its evaluation process, the Eduniversal Scientific Committee awarded Institut Lyfe the highest distinction, recognizing its academic excellence, international impact, and unique educational approach.

Receiving the 5 Palmes in this category—right from our first evaluation—is both an honour and a powerful endorsement of our vision: to train visionary leaders in an ecosystem where luxury, gastronomy, and responsibility converge. It confirms that our school is far more than an institution dedicated to culinary, pastry, hospitality, and wine & beverage professions; it is a global academic leader in Hospitality studies and research, and a true ambassador of the French Art of Living.
