BBI provides higher education in international hospitality management and tourism. Students can choose between the undergraduate and postgraduate programmes or both.

Our programmes fully comply with the general objectives of the Bologna Agreements which broadly aim to facilitate the construction of a “European Higher Education Space”. From the moment when they were signed, we have applied the principles of the agreements, including the implementation of the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System – ECTS.

The curricula mainly reflect the American educational format, stressing a hands-on, pragmatic and interdisciplinary approach to learning. The three main core areas of the curricula are:

• Operations management education
• Business management education
• Practical education - internships
  

The BSc. is awarded at the end of three years of study. It is described as “Career-oriented programme”, meaning that it directly prepares students for professionals’ activities. Therefore, at the end of this programme, students who graduate can, depending on their personal ambitions, directly enter the world of work or can continue studying for a Masters.

This programme focuses on theoretical subjects (academic disciplines) and comprehension ability (hospitality operations and all related facilities). It provides knowledge of team working and decision-making. The programme offers a combination of operational skills and solid business management knowledge, in order to enhance students’ knowledge of general management and finance, vital for this professional career path.

The MSc. degree is awarded after two years of additional study. This programme aims to consolidate knowledge acquired during undergraduate training and to increase knowledge about the numerous aspects of business management. The programme also offers students a range of specific skills leading to their selected specialisation, enabling them to adapt to current industry requirements.

This programme provides in-depth knowledge of research and critical analysis. Students will gain a firm practical understanding of the management trends that make a difference at an international level. Students learn the facets and techniques in the science of hospitality and tourism business management, focusing on objectives relating to their area of specialisation. They learn to integrate different specialisations and techniques in the broad framework of goal-oriented organisations and also apply management theory in their field of specialisation.

The master degree is a customized programme which provides advanced specialisation in the following fields: Marketing – Human Resources – Finance – Business Operations – Resort and Condominium Operations
