Barology is a unique concept in vocational higher education in Europe, developed by InterNapa College. It represents a sophisticated course blend of Art, Science and Technology, advancing bartending education and profession. It is a one-year certificate accredited by the Cyprus Agency of Quality Assurance and Accreditation in Higher Education in Cyprus. The aim was to offer optimal professional and experiential learning conditions, simulating a real working and practicing environment in bartending. Graduates can gain professional skills and competencies needed for a career as bartenders, maintaining a personal competitive advantage in the labour market.

The Professional Bartending program of study was developed after a long consultation of the Advisory Committee of InterNapa College with its external members and industry stakeholders. The need for the Professional Bartending certificate emerged from the serious shortage of qualified bartenders in the labour market in relation to its high job-profile, career advancement opportunities as well as its high remunerations. As a result, a collective process engaged the Academic Committee members into an intense market research. The goal was to discover the exact professional bartending competencies as well as to develop a progressive and cutting edge program to fulfil current and future industry needs. 

Barology fulfils the strategic objectives of InterNapa College:
