Hospitality Programmes
While traditional brick-and-mortar institutions may still be relevant, SEGi believes in going beyond the traditional academic setting to bring the best quality education, more so for students who are venturing into hospitality, one of world's fastest-growing industries.
In moulding students into educated and well-trained professionals who can deliver first-class services, SEGi offers numerous Hospitality programmes, including a Bachelor of Hospitality Management (Hons), a double degree with the University of Central Lancashire, UK; and BSc (Hons) International Tourism & Hospitality Management (3+0) with University of Sunderland, UK. Through its collaborations with these reputable British universities, students will have a globalised learning experience, attaining outstanding undergraduate degrees while remaining in the region.
The programmes' curriculum is co-designed, co-delivered and co-assessed with local and international industry players from various fields. The "Industry Into The Classroom" is a signature concept of SEGi that allows students to learn and work on real-life industry projects in addition to their day-to-day classes. Case in point, Faizul Hazly Ghazali, MAMEE-Double Decker Executive Chef who headed the halal kitchen operations at the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games, regularly conducts culinary classes as a module for the Hospitality programmes.
By designing its programmes to be industry-driven with academic know-how, students will have direct and indirect exposure to the industry from the classroom. For instance, SEGi has collaborated with Malaysia Airlines to develop a Christmas menu served between 24 to 31 December 2021 to passengers travelling from Kuala Lumpur to London, Australia, New Zealand and selected ASEAN and domestic routes. The menu was also available for guests at the domestic Golden Lounge Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
SEGi's bespoke undergraduate degrees divulge a diverse range of contemporary topics in Hospitality and Tourism globally, such as Hospitality Computerised Systems, Consumer Behaviour in Hospitality, e-Commerce, Innovation and Business Strategy in Hospitality, Contemporary Issues in Hospitality and Tourism industry, and Tourism Policy Studies, etc. The syllabus for each programme is crafted specifically for students to excel in 21st century Hospitality & Tourism industry. It focuses on technology-driven subjects relevant to the industry's needs to meet domestic and international demands, drive efficiency in operations and competitiveness in the globalised market, and modern hospitality management strategies.
