Building today the leaders of tomorrow
A training of excellence for a future without limits: 8 departments and 60+ specialisations across BTS (French-speaking) and HND (English-speaking) cycles, in a modern environment driven by science, innovation and digital technology.
One ambition: bilingual excellence
Welcome to the Mbiada Bilingual Higher Institute. Our mission is simple: to give every student, French- or English-speaking, a rigorous technical and professional education, driven by innovation, artificial intelligence and the realities of the job market. We believe bilingualism is a strength, and that science is a lever for the emancipation of our region and of Cameroon as a whole.

A newly created higher institute, already ambitious
Based in Bafoussam, ISBM offers a dual training sub-system: the BTS cycle for French-speaking students and the HND cycle for English-speaking students. This unique setup enables the institute to train bilingual senior technicians, ready to work in key development sectors: engineering, health, agriculture, management, law and communication.
8 departments, one standard of excellence
Each department brings together French-speaking (BTS) and English-speaking (HND) programmes around a shared area of expertise.
Two cycles, one same level of rigor
Recognised higher technical diplomas, designed for fast professional integration.

French-speaking sub-system — Brevet de Technicien Supérieur (2 years)

HND Cycle
English-speaking sub-system — Higher National Diploma (2 years)
A 2-year post-A-Level programme leading to the Higher National Diploma (HND), covering the same specialisations as the BTS cycle (3 years for Health Sciences).
