Nurturing Future Industry Leaders with World-leading Undergraduate Degrees
Education is the best investment that one can make. This is especially true in times of uncertainty, when everyone must learn to embrace challenges and seize opportunities. For anyone who aspires to be a leader in the hospitality and tourism industry, the time is ripe to pursue professional growth and development.

Led by a strong international team of more than 70 academics with diverse cultural backgrounds, the multi-disciplinary Bachelor of Science (BSc) programmes offered by the SHTM equip students with the professional knowledge and skills required for a broad range of complex managerial and specialised work activities in the hospitality and tourism industry.

The BSc (Hons) in Hotel Management educates students about the business of hotel and food service management. Its focus on customer service equips graduates to excel in front-line roles in the hotel and food service sectors.

The BSc (Hons) in Tourism and Events Management combines the theory and practice of business tourism with a customer service orientation to nurture graduates who are well suited to a variety of tourism roles. Graduates can progress rapidly to management level positions within this sector.

These multi-disciplinary programmes prepare students for careers at management level in the hotel, food service, tourism, events and broader service sectors, either locally or internationally. Students learn to be customer-focused, analytical and independent while developing communication and leadership skills. They also gain a global perspective, helping them to meet the emerging challenges of the dynamic hospitality and tourism industry.

During their studies, SHTM students enjoy diverse opportunities for international exposure and practical experience in their chosen professions and are recognised throughout the world for the high calibre of their learning. The Student Exchange Programme enables students to travel abroad to study and immerse themselves in new cultures. Industry placements allow them to gain knowledge and practical experience at leading hospitality and tourism firms around the world. Through study tours, students can gain first-hand experience of various styles of hospitality in exciting destinations. The opportunities to learn and work at Hotel ICON, the School's ground-breaking teaching and research hotel, makes it all the more exciting.
