An Industry-relevant Education

Simply put, we have a group of industry members that review and continuously improve the curriculum, based on their experience and monitoring of current industry practice and future trends. They also provide networking opportunities and valuable advice to students.
2. Industrial Attachment Program
Since its launch in 2015, students are given a platform to apply the theoretical knowledge learnt during the course of studies. There is a structured plan for preparing students for the interview and program itself, as well as monitoring students’ learning at the workplace.
During the first 2 weeks of training, I was sent to almost all the departments of the hotel. I’ve learnt a lot, including how to allocate rooms, how to use the hotel management system and effective communication with other departments. Mr Pinaki, my lecturer, gave me support when I was feeling frustrated and gave me advice to perform better at work.
