Swiss Education
During the studies for the  MSc in International Hospitality management, I have experienced and learned the many different sides of the hospitality management, from planning and developing in a hotel, to hiring and retaining the workforce. What really stood out for me after six months of education, was the realization of the many different types of jobs a hotel manager should perform. This provided me a better comprehension of various roles and responsibilities that I could apply as a manager of the hotel. One of the advantages I discovered during studying, was the fact that I should work in a team in order to accomplish group projects. I understood that the different ideas which come from different points of view, can contribute considerably to a successful work.

Internships
B.H.M.S. offered me an internship at a 5-star hotel in Dubai and this was a significant step for my future career. The main advantage of being an operational trainee in food and beverage department was that I learned about the organization of the whole restaurant since it was operated by a small team. The knowledge and the experiences I have gained surpassed my expectations and helped me to gain some transferable skills, which seems to be important for my future success in the hospitality industry.
