Why Tourism @ SP Business School?
The Diploma in Tourism and Resort Management is a vibrant and exciting course that is taught by experienced tourism professionals.
Year 1 students embark on a Study Sea Cruise for an “out-of-classroom” experience onboard a “floating resort” as well as interesting visits to five-star resorts at the ports of call.
Year 2 students go on overseas hospitality immersion trips for an authentic learning experience in an international resort-setting. Our students are also involved in the country’s global events such as Formula One (F1) where they relate with guests and personalities at the heart of the action as well as major Travel Fairs and national events.
The major highlight of the course is in the 3rd year where students undergo an intensive 24-week internship in either top companies locally or overseas such as Walt Disney world in USA or with our major partners in France, Finland and China. Some of our local internship partners include Marina Bay Sands, Resorts World @ Sentosa, Swissotel, Fairmont, Shangri-La, St Regis, Conrad Centennial, Wild Life Reserves Singapore, Chan Bros. Travel and Jet Star Asia to name a few.
Scholarships from reputable establishments – Resorts World @ Sentosa, Chan Bros. Travel & Raffles City Hotels are also offered to deserving students.
Our graduates further their studies at NUS, NTU, SMU or at several reputable foreign universities which grant advanced standing to our students. Our academic partners such as University of Nevada Las Vegas, University of Queensland, University of Surrey and University of Winchester allow our graduates to complete their degree programme in only one to two years.
Career prospects in the industry are bright with the significant increase in tourism arrivals in Singapore. Graduates of our course are spoilt for choice and will be easily recruited by the integrated resorts, hotels, travel and events management companies, airlines, cruise lines and Food & Beverage establishments.
By the time you graduate, you would have been trained in all facets of tourism in general and service in particular. The exposure to real world training and environment will enhance your confidence to make you work-ready, world-ready and life-ready. You will become a true service professional whose values are ingrained with service par excellence and an empathic heart ready to put a dent in the Tourism World.
