Why study Business and Hospitality Management at B.H.M.S.?


Assured Paid Internship & Graduate Placement

 

The internship is an integral part of any study program offered by B.H.M.S.

During every academic year, students are required to carry out a 4-6 month industry training period in a hotel or a restaurant approved by B.H.M.S.. In addition, B.H.M.S. works with numerous international

placement agencies that specialize in placing graduate students in

Europe, Asia and North America. A Career and Placement Counselor assists students with placements in hotels and restaurants in Switzerland and abroad.

Accelerated Bachelor of Arts Degree

 

B.H.M.S. (together with The Robert Gordon University) has designed one

of the fastest track BA Degrees in Switzerland without compromising its

educational quality. At B.H.M.S., students can achieve a Bachelor of

Arts Degree in Hotel and Hospitality Management in 18 months of studying

plus an 18-month paid internship period. A similar education in another

Swiss hotel management school would require 24 months of studying plus a

12-month internship period. This gives B.H.M.S. graduates an advantage of studying 6 months less while gaining 6 additional months of paid work experience in Switzerland. 

Unique 5-Week Term System

 

B.H.M.S. has implemented a unique system of education by dividing a

20-week semester into four mini-terms of 5 weeks each. This system

enables students to focus on only 3 to 4 academic subjects at a time

instead of the usual 8-10 subjects as in other Swiss hotel schools. As a

result, the B.H.M.S. students are able to complete 12-14 academic subjects within a 6-month period with regular load.

Ideal Location in the Heart of Lucerne

 

The B.H.M.S. campus buildings and student residences are located in the heart of the beautiful city of Lucerne, within walking distance from each other and from the city center.

“My experience at B.H.M.S Switzerland was a game changer for me. I had the privilege to adopt a certain Swiss hospitality attitude and approach that is unique in the world. Highly skilled B.H.M.S hospitality instructors showed me how to build service processes in a different and more efficient way. This professional customer focused approach of B.H.M.S was one of the triggers that encouraged me to build my own consulting business which has been running successfully for 10 years now. Our focus is on maximizing business potentials in any operational environment. Personally, I believe that choosing B.H.M.S was a key factor for my professional career.” Peter GOPCSA JR, 2012 Graduate, Founder and Managing Partner at Sterling Consulting
