Applications for Vatel Bahrain programmes open until September 12

Vatel Bahrain has announced that applications for the 2026–2027 academic year will remain open until September 12.

Prospective students can apply for Bachelor’s and MBA programmes in International Hotel Management, offered by Vatel France and designed to prepare graduates for careers across hospitality and tourism.

The Bachelor’s programme combines academic study with practical training, including nearly two years of professional experience at leading hotels in Bahrain and abroad, alongside French-language study.

The qualification is placed at Level 6 of the European Qualifications Framework and aligned with Level 8 of Bahrain’s National Qualifications Framework.

Meanwhile, the 18-month MBA, the first of its kind in Bahrain, focuses on leadership and management skills. Its curriculum covers hospitality economics, marketing strategy, financial analysis, human resources and hotel strategy, preparing graduates for senior roles in the sector.

Fatema Ali, Director of Studies at Vatel Bahrain, said: “Vatel has retained its position as the leading hospitality school in France for the fifth consecutive year and holds the 11th position globally in hospitality management, according to the latest QS rankings (by subject). All Vatel Bahrain graduates have also received job offers before completing their studies, reflecting the growing demand for qualified professionals and the continued growth of the tourism sector. With limited places available, we encourage prospective students to complete their applications as early as possible to allow sufficient time for the assessment and admission procedures before the start of the new academic year.” -TradeArabia News Service
