To succeed in your career in hospitality and your internships on a national and international level, mastery of languages ​​is essential, namely in English and French. Hence the importance of having a medium B level (on the CEFR scale) in both languages.

 

In addition to English and French, we teach a third foreign language of your choice: Spanish, Chinese, or Russian.

 

Everyone has a chance to apply for our bachelor, and language is just one criteria. If your profile and your motivations correspond to the vision of SHBM, accelerated language courses are offered to our students to enable them to reach the level necessary for the first internship.

• A 6-month operational internship in the hotel industry during the first year (preparatory).

During your courses, a program is designed to teach you how to look for internships and jobs, and expand your professional network. In addition, our career services will help you find internships, and develop partnerships with the most prestigious hotels in Morocco. 
In addition, we will organize campus recruitment days where companies will be invited to introduce themselves, meet and interview candidates.

 

We encourage our students to have an internationally recognized training. An internship abroad can only be beneficial in terms of skills development, personal and professional fulfillment, discovery of foreign cultures and new horizons that will allow the student to put their knowledge of hospitality business into practice.  Whether in Morocco or abroad, it will be a real added value on a CV.

In addition, a career in hospitality or business offers you opportunities in the private sector whether in Morocco or abroad, the right questions to ask should be oriented towards your skills and experiences that will allow you to stand out in relation to other profiles in the same field. 

 

 

A hospitality management school is a business school with a competitive advantage. You have the possibility of practicing all the trades which touch management.You will learn all the aspects related to running a business: economics, finance, marketing, project management, human resources, but you will have much more than the management theory taught in business schools.

You can have an orientation in one of the specialties:

• Marketing and Communication
• Events
• Commercial and reservation 
• Public relations
• Human resources
• Finance and accounting 
• Purchasing
• Food & Beverage 
• Catering
• Accommodation

 

Can I work in a sector other than hospitality and tourism? 

A business school will give you the same skills in business management as those taught in prestigious "hospitality management" schools. On the other hand, a basic business degree will not give you the competitive advantage of real-world, practical knowledge, interpersonal skills and in-depth knowledge of one of the flagship industries for years to come. 

Adopt hospitality as a mindset and experience to be extended to other sectors. 

 

Like internships, during your course, a program is designed to teach you how to look for jobs and expand your professional network.

In addition, our career services will help you get your first job thanks to particular partnerships with the most prestigious hotels in Morocco.
