| Aims and Objectives | The central aim of the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Scheme in Hospitality and Tourism Management is to equip graduates with the necessary knowledge and competencies for entry to a relevant career.
Graduates will be groomed to be adaptable to dynamic environmental change, all-round, holistic, articulate, and respectful to others’ norms and cultures. This is achieved through the compilation of localised and up-to-date teaching materials relevant to the formal curriculum, and a rich informal curriculum comprising guest lectures, student activities, company visits, mentorship, complementary studies, language enhancement courses, and the like.
During the course of study, students are required to fulfil the compulsory Work-Integrated Education (WIE) requirement. WIE is a work-based learning experience which takes place in an organisational context relevant to a student’s future profession, or career, or the development of generic skills that will be valuable in the student’s future career development. Going beyond studying within campus, WIE allows students to learn from real industry practice, yet at the same time contribute to the industry and/or community.
