Introduction

The Tourism, Hospitality, and MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conventions, and Exhibitions) industry is a key sector of Singapore's economy. As Singapore aims to be a destination of choice and a powerful tourism hub attracting visitors, businesses and talents from across the world, we look beyond logistics and facilities and focus on the "service software". Set against this backdrop, the demand for professionally trained executives with a spirit of innovation and the ability to create the unique Singapore experience will increase. Having the right skills and knowledge will be crucial in maintaining Singapore's competitive edge in this multi-faceted industry.

The Diploma in Hospitality & Resort Management is designed to provide students with a strong business foundation and, at the same time allow students to acquire an adequate level of specialization in hospitality & resort management. The course will equip them with the necessary knowledge, skills and mindset to enable them to contribute effectively in the tourism and hospitality industry.

Students pursuing the diploma have the opportunity to undergo industrial attachment at leading hotels, resorts, and event companies both in Singapore and overseas. Students are also exposed to various practice-based training to equip them with the competency and skills to meet with the needs of the industry. Lessons are conducted using a variety of modes such as hospitality studies related labs in the campus, role plays as well as other out of classroom assignments and projects.
