Our aim at Boma International Hospitality College (BIHC), in partnership with the Business and Hotel Management School (BHMS) in Switzerland is to nurture your interest in the hospitality industry and empower your ambitions. We have developed a state of the art study programme designed to facilitate access to demanding, while rewarding careers.
Our curriculum maintains a strong emphasis on Swiss tradition of balancing theories with immediate practical applications within the key and most central operating areas, namely the Food and Beverage and Rooms Division departments of the Boma Hotel Complex, as part of the Applied Hotel Operations module.
Beyond the theory and practical applications at the College and at Boma Hotels, our programs include periods of externships at leading international and local hospitality brands, during which students are expected to demonstrate their skills, knowledge and attitudes under the direct monitoring of professionals who will do their best in providing guidance for their professional benefit. Our students may undertake PAID international internship programs in the United States of America, Middle East and the Caribbean as part of their study package.
