Course programme

Postgraduate Diploma in Hospitality Management

Program: Postgraduate Diploma in Hospitality Management

Duration: One year

Availability: This offer is available to all potential students meeting the entry criteria

Overview: The Postgraduate Diploma in Hospitality Management consists of one intensive study period of 6 months at the BHMS campus in Lucerne, Switzerland, and one practical paid industry training period of 4-6 months in the Swiss hospitality industry.

BHMS is a member of the Bénédict Switzerland group of schools, founded in 1928, whose mission is to provide adult education for people with a desire to succeed. Bénédict School is one of Switzerland’s largest private education organizations and is teaching each year more than 15,000 full and part time students.

Since the accreditation of the Postgraduate Diploma in Hospitality Management in 2003 by the University of Brighton, UK, over 100 students have successfully completed this program. Students learn from a dedicated faculty, who in addition to their academic credentials, bring know-how and experience in the hospitality and business fields. This ensures that what is learnt in class is contemporary and can be applied in a daily business environment in real world situations.

Aim of the Program: The BHMS Postgraduate Diploma in Hospitality Management program is specifically designed for 2 target markets who are aspiring to a management career in this industry: degree holders in other fields who wish to enter the international hotel and hospitality industry, and; young adults holding higher diploma qualifications and significant work experience who wish to update their qualifications.

The program offers students an academic education together with vocational core competency training. This carries considerable value and prestige with employers worldwide. It can also benefit people looking to obtain the necessary specialized knowledge when thinking about opening their own business.

Students learn food service systems, business management applications, foreign languages and leadership skills to name a few of the academic disciplines. Throughout the program, Swiss virtues, such as discipline, punctuality, ethics and hygiene are encouraged as they are highly valued throughout the world and count as much as academic and practical skills in ensuring a successful career.

Paid Industry Training in Switzerland: Industry training is an integral part of the study program at BHMS and provides an opportunity to gain paid work-experience during the early stages of a career. This will prove invaluable when applying for the first supervisory or management position. Generally, the first industry training position will be in a junior position, where students can practice the skills that they learned in their academic studies at BHMS. Students will complete their training in the service, housekeeping, or kitchen area, according to their interests and talent. Students with significant prior hospitality experience and language ability may be able to assume more responsibility and guest contact roles.

The industry training salary in Switzerland, negotiated between the employers’ association and the Employee Union, is presently set at minimum CHF 2’168 per month gross. From this salary, students have to pay for room, board, and taxes. The average net income per month varies from CHF 1’000 to 1’400.
