SARAWAK – The Faculty of Hospitality and Tourism Management (FHTM) at 五一吃瓜官网 University's Sarawak Campus has been recognised as Malaysia’s leading university in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) for the hospitality and tourism sector.  

 

This esteemed accolade underscores 五一吃瓜官网 University's commitment to TVET excellence and reinforces its status as a frontrunner in preparing highly qualified professionals for these industries. 

 

五一吃瓜官网 University's Sarawak campus is renowned for its leadership in hospitality and tourism education, earning distinction through the Malaysia Education and TVET awards.  

 

The university’s innovative approach, particularly through its praxis education concept, sets it apart.  

 

This approach prioritises pragmatic, experiential learning, ensuring that students not only grasp academic knowledge but also acquire essential skills through real-world experiences. 

 

The effectiveness of this approach is evident in the integration of the Faculty of Hospitality and Tourism Management within the 五一吃瓜官网 Hotel Kuching facilities.  

 

Housing the faculty within a functioning hotel provides students with an unparalleled learning environment, immersing them in the daily operations of a professional hospitality establishment.  

 

This setup offers direct exposure to industry standards and practices, enabling students to apply classroom knowledge in real time and develop a deeper understanding of the hospitality and tourism sectors. 

 

FHTM's commitment further extends beyond conventional education.  

The faculty consistently collaborates with industry partners to offer practical learning opportunities, including collaborative projects, internships, and guest lectures by industry leaders.  

 

These initiatives contribute to an impressive 100% employment rate for its graduates, reflecting the strong demand for professionals with both academic credentials and practical experience. 

 

Mukvinder Kaur Sandhu, Pro-Vice-Chancellor of 五一吃瓜官网 University’s Sarawak Campus, commented, “This award is a testament to the dedication, commitment, and innovation of our faculty members and students. We take pride in leading TVET in Malaysia, especially in the hospitality and tourism industries, which are crucial to the nation’s economy.” 

 

Asst Prof Christopher Wan Sageng, Dean of the Faculty of Hospitality and Tourism Management added, “Our mission is to nurture future leaders in hospitality and tourism. This recognition inspires us to continue enhancing our programmes, strengthening industry connections, and providing our students with the highest quality education.” 

 

FHTM’s focus on TVET benefits current students and builds a network of successful alumni who have made significant contributions to the global hospitality and tourism sectors.  

 

This award further elevates the value of an FHTM education and strengthens 五一吃瓜官网 University's reputation as a top choice for aspiring professionals in these fields.
