Aside from seeing Hong Kong as the gateway to Mainland China, I always saw Hong Kong as having Asia’s most innovative and diverse hotel market, particularly in the luxury segment. Hong Kong is a melting pot that exposes you to both Asian and Western cultures. It’s been my dream to study at #PolyUSHTM because of the great importance the SHTM places on academic education in the field of hospitality and tourism. This is reflected in the SHTM’s leading positions in world university rankings, the highly skilled teaching staff and its state-of-the-art facilities.
Seize this opportunity and experience Hong Kong and the SHTM’s programmes yourselves! I can state from my own experience that many of your beliefs about Asia and Hong Kong are likely to change completely once you’re here.
#PolyUSHTM is the first option that came to my mind. The SHTM motto ‘Leading Hospitality and Tourism’ inspires and motivates me to pursue a Master's degree in International Hospitality Management. #IHM connects me with professors and fellow students from around the world, allowing us to share our ideas, perspectives, experiences and cultures. This enriches my learning journey and professional knowledge and skills.
Curiosity and learning are the secret to success: it’s time to upgrade yourself!
Studying at #PolyUSHTM has been my best decision ever. Apart from exposure to exceptional subject materials, we are offered the chance to network with guest speakers from top hotels worldwide, such as the GM of Rosewood and Mandarin Oriental. Learning practical skills and working with brilliant, innovative classmates to solve real-world hospitality challenges introduces me to different perspectives every day.
I am amazed by the free, fully immersive learning experiences here at SHTM. Studying at the SHTM enables me to visualise a brand-new chapter in hospitality and tourism development in both the West and the East!
I believe that studying at #PolyUSHTM is a great honour for students in hospitality and tourism. The #ITCM programme has a strong link to the industry, as it is offered by the SHTM in Hong Kong, an international city with a mature tourism and MICE industry that offers excellent opportunities for growth. As the #ITCM is a graduate programme, it endows students with both theoretical knowledge and valuable practical skills, enabling them to effectively plan their careers and become outstanding candidates for future employment.
I am certain that the #ITCM learning experience at the SHTM continues to help students' career development long after they graduate.
I feel greatly honoured to be a postgraduate student in the MSc in International Wine Management programme, which is giving me a deep understanding of the mysteries of wine. I appreciate the fact that #PolyUSHTM faculty members not only discuss concepts, knowledge and theory from textbooks but also encourage and inspire us to explore as much as we can about wine and related issues.
I believe that achievement begins with curiosity and continuous exploration. I would not second-guess my decision to be here.
Given my background in the food and beverage industry, I wanted to enhance my management skills, so a Master of Science in International Wine Management was my first choice.
I appreciate the programme’s focus and the fact that subjects are abreast with the latest trends in the wine market. The multicultural and global environment is conducive to my career development and the subjects “Wine Economics” and “Wines of the World” allow me to interact with the wine business community and gain insights into real business problems and solutions in the wine market.
