Career-related Programme
of Business Administration in Hospitality Management

The Career-related Programme is a framework of international education that incorporates the values of the IB into a unique programme addressing the needs of students engaged in career-related education.

Pathway to employment

The International Baccalaureate (IB) Career-related Programme (BAHM) prepares students for the world of work, as well as helping them to develop their personal qualities.

By doing so it leads students down a pathway of their own making, towards further/higher education, apprenticeships or a career.

Partnership with Hotel Institute Montreaux
Malmö Borgarskola strives to provide a quality education with an international perspective. It is therefore exciting to announce our partnership with the Swiss Education Group, a relationship which will benefit our students and give them a broader view of the world.

Malmö Borgarskola collaborates with Hotel Institute Montreux (HIM), to give students a top quality education. Hotel Institute Montreux, which is part of the Swiss Education Group (SEG), conducts part of the teaching for BAHM. During your preparatory year as a student on the Career-related Programme, you’ll take part in a study trip to Switzerland to visit HIM.

A number of scholarships are awarded to enable students to conduct part of their training at HIM in Switzerland.

Core elements and subjects

BAHM is a programme that follows both the Career-related Programme of the IB and the Swedish Business and Administration Programme (handels- och administrationsprogrammet). The programme leads to further/higher education, apprenticeships or employment.

The Career-related Programme starts with a prepatory (PreCP) year for students age 15–16.

The preparatory year is a one-year course prior to the actual IB Career-related Programme. Here students follow a course of study which is similar to the Business and Administration Programme (BAHM) in the Swedish system making it possible for students to change to another programme should they not wish to continue with the IB.

The aim of preparatory year is to prepare students for the challenge of the programme, developing their hospitality, academic and language skills, equipping them to study a broad range of subjects in English.

Our students undertake a minimum of two IB Diploma Programme courses, a core consisting of four components and a career-related course.

DP courses provide the theoretical underpinning and academic rigour of the Career-related Programme, at the same time as the career-related component builds on this foundation by providing practical, real-world approaches to learning.

The Career-related Programme core helps students to develop the skills and attributes required for lifelong learning

The programme’s curriculum framework develops:

  • linguistic proficiency
  • critical thinking skills
  • maturity and responsibility
  • time management skills
  • a strong work ethic
  • social and communication skills.

These capabilities are complementary to the accredited skills students gain as a requirement of their career-related studies.

Students take written examinations at the end of their IB Diploma Programme courses. These are marked by external IB examiners. The school assesses the components of the Career-related core.

Admission
Each autumn the program accepts about 25 motivated pupils, with at least nine years of primary education from recognized programs, to commence their educational career. All pupils are required to pass entrance tests in Mathematics and English before being considered for the program.

Approximately half of the students come from an international school environment, while the rest come from regular Swedish schools with little or no experience studying in English.
