Having relished a wide variety of travel experiences such as solo cycling from Singapore to Thailand and skate scooting from Cambodia to Vietnam, my passion to explore the tourism industry led me to choose my Double Major Degree programme. I was blessed to enjoy a welcoming environment where lecturers were always ready to clarify doubts.

My Degree propelled me further as I started my own travel agency and launched a Website and Mobile-App Development Business, KomengTech. Reflecting on my journey, I believe Murdoch has brought out the best in me and I have already recommended more than 5 people to attend.

Upon graduation, I was able to progress in my career — from a Receptionist in a private equity firm to an Executive in NTU’s Office of International Affairs. I was given ample opportunities to fuse my soft skills in teamwork with theoretical knowledge on international affairs from my Hospitality Degree, to expand NTU’s international reach and strengthen its strategic alliances.

The modules have enriched my global mindset and enabled me to liaise smoothly and forge sustainable relationships with people from different countries. My Murdoch journey has helped me enjoy the dynamism of the hospitality and tourism industry.

The Hospitality and Tourism Management double major degree taught at Kaplan provided me a wide spectrum of knowledge and understanding. Key concepts, theories and practices can be applied in and outside of the classroom, giving me the ability to approach situations holistically. Now that I’m in the tourism and hospitality industry, I can truly say that I can apply what I learnt in the classroom in my workplace.
