SHTM Postgraduate Programmes Open a Whole New World of Experience

The hotel and tourism sectors are in a profound period of change. Industry professionals now more than ever before have to lead and manage many situations. Of crucial importance are the skills required to identify and capitalise on opportunities and to respond effectively to challenges. At the SHTM, we offer a wide range of postgraduate programmes to those who strive to extend the frontiers of their knowledge and advance their careers.

Our Master of Science (MSc) programmes are offered in International Hospitality Management and Tourism and Convention Management. These programmes have intakes of about thirty-five students each in Hong Kong, and all students entering the programmes have acquired at least one year of experience in the hospitality and tourism industry. Depending on which stream they follow and their country of origin, Masters graduates can expect to move into positions of responsibility in the hotel, tourism, convention and event sectors.

The first cohort of students comprises seasoned hospitality executives who bring with them a wealth of industry experience and knowledge.
