A day in a life of a Diploma in Hospitality & Tourism (DHTM) Management Learner
Check out what our learners have to say about us! There is no better way to learn about us than to hear it straight from them. Watch how our learners talk about the unique experiences at DHTM, including their exciting internships, overseas trips and more!
WE Engage: SUN-sation Event
SUN-sation, an event championing social inclusions, was organised by HTM students with SUN-DAC and event organiser, SGEE Ventures. The students experienced what it was like to helm the event, including being the emcee, pre-event marketing and on-day set-up. The event was made extra special because of the cause they were working towards. The inaugural SUN-sation event aimed to be an annual event where the public come together to support, encourage, and empower Persons With Disabilities (PWDs) and their caregivers for greater social inclusion.
WE Shine: MICE Youth Challenge
Our Diploma in Hospitality and Tourism Management (DHTM) students have also emerged top on several occasions at the annual AFECA (Asian Federation of Exhibition and Convention Associations) Asia MICE Youth Challenge. The competition pits teams from universities and institutions of higher learning throughout Asia against each other to present the best proposal for an innovative MICE event business plan.
WE Travel: Annual Tama University Study Trip
The students from Tama University and DHTM have had the chance to foster intercultural ties since 2011 when a memorandum of understanding was signed between Tama University and SBM. DHTM students get a chance to embark on a two-week study trip at the Tama University annually, while taking lessons and immersing themselves in Japanese culture.
Our students initially encountered language barriers when interacting with their Japanese counterparts, the basic Japanese crash course helped them overcome these barriers. “I love conversing with (the Japanese students) and I have made many new friends from Tama University!” said one SBM student, Nur Isyraf Aqil Bin Mohammad Nazri.
Hear from our Graduates and Industry Partners
"The three years I'd spent in Hospitality & Tourism Management (HTM, previously Resort Management) equipped me with career skills for the industry: The variety of courses provided me with the knowledge that enabled me to broaden my horizons in other scopes. It offered me an enriching learning journey, with opportunities such as the Overseas Exchange Program (OSEP) in Nice, France and an internship with Carlson Hotels, a world-class hospitality chain. HTM was truly a fulfilling experience – both in the classroom and beyond."

“Raffles Hotel Singapore has been collaborating with NYP DHTM for many years now, including signing a Memorandum of Understanding in 2022. We are very excited to have always been a part of DHTM’s programmes, including co-assessing and co-mentoring students in NYP’s teaching pedagogy. With this sort of industry-rich curriculum, we are confident that the NYP students will be equipped with relevant knowledge and skills to be ready to take on their careers in the hospitality and tourism industry.”

"Taking up the Diploma in Hospitality and Tourism with NYP has not only set me up with the required skills and knowledge, but has also enhanced my passion for the industry as a whole, whilst driving me to push myself and look towards making positive change within the ever changing scene.”
Ian Gerard Goh
Class of 2016, Valedictorian from SIT's Bachelor of Hospitality Business with Direct Honours 2021
"The program has brought me great exposure to the hospitality and tourism industry. I had a magical time interning at Walt Disney Worlds (Orlando) for my Industry Placement Program. This stint later helped me secure my first job with Resorts World at Sentosa as part of the opening team for their new theme park, the Universal Studios Singapore. The magic continued to work, and I joined the most iconic integrated resort in Singapore – Marina Bay Sands – during her first year, in 2010, and stayed on for a rewarding eight years. I truly benefited a lot from this program, largely due to how experienced and industry-relevant our lecturers are. They came from hotels, airlines, accounting firms, and government bodies like the Singapore Tourism Board, and they would share their experiences, real-life examples with us, to facilitate our understanding during lectures and tutorials. Aside from classroom learning, we had a lot of unique experiences and fun as well. I can still vividly remember my two-night stay on Star Cruise Virgo, site visits to Meritus Mandarin, tour for the Singapore Airshow, participation in Chingay Parade, and learning golf at a country club."
