“The great experience during my undergraduate programme has encouraged me to pursue the Master programme at the School of Hospitality and Service Management.

The School also provides state-of-the-art resources, in terms of facilities and any related software.

“It has been an honour to be part of the very first cohort of students for the inaugural Master in International Hospitality Management programme at the School of Hospitality and Service Management, Sunway University. It was not a difficult decision to return to where I obtained my bachelor's degree, knowing the quality of the education provided. However, pursuing a specialization can be daunting, but the academic staff's constant support has reaffirmed my commitment and passion for the industry. The experiences and lessons imparted to me have led me to successfully complete a management trainee program and succeed in my role as a duty manager. Most importantly, the programme developed my critical analysis and problem-solving skills and prepared me to look at situations from different perspectives with added insights from academic and industrial experts. The experience helps me stand out amongst my peers and allows me to be efficient and innovative in the workplace. At the Master's level, students are encouraged to discuss and debate with professors, lecturers, and peers and defend decision-making with factual reasoning. Research-wise, I was readily prepared with research methodologies and techniques that enabled me to produce a research paper that I am proud of. Additionally, the habit of research has helped me find new solutions in my workplace. Last but not least, being the student representative of this postgraduate programme, I can confidently say that the programme will allow individuals to accomplish their ambitions and goals. A word of advice - no one can take your experience and knowledge away from you and those are greatest assets. ”
