Overview
Programme Aims & Learning Outcomes
- To ensure the all-round education and development of School of Hotel and Tourism Management (SHTM) graduates;
- To offer a multi-disciplinary education, which will equip students with the professional knowledge and skills needed for a broad range of complex, managerial and specialised work activities in the tourism, events, convention and exhibition industry; and
- To develop graduates who can significantly contribute to the total quality service delivery to tourism, events, conventions and exhibitions, and service-related customers.
The Tourism and Events Management programme of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University combines the theory and practice of business tourism with a customer-service orientation to produce graduates who can take up a variety of tourism and events industry positions.
Graduates can progress rapidly to management level positions within this sector. This multidisciplinary programme prepares students for careers at the management level in the tourism and events sector, and in broader service industries, either locally or internationally. Students learn to be customer-focused, analytical and independent, and at the same time develop communication and leadership skills. They also gain a global perspective to meet the growing challenges faced in the dynamic tourism and events industry.
