UCSI’s Faculty of Hospitality and Tourism Management works to meet the human capital needs of Malaysia and the world – whether the focus is on hotel management, tourism management, culinary arts, or leisure and recreation. Housed at one of Malaysia’s foremost private universities, the Faculty is a hub of discovery and its presence in Kuala Lumpur and Kuching – two of Malaysia’s most popular tourist destinations – sees it providing diverse learning experiences few other schools can.
Young, vibrant and innovative, the Faculty is the place where aspiring hoteliers and restaurant managers obtain a firm grasp of key industrial practices and the underlying assumptions that make them work. By understanding the rules of the game – written and unwritten – through experiential learning, collaboration, innovation and discovery, our students will enjoy a head start in a booming industry that is yet to realise its full potential.
Korean food, culture and entertainment – including the “Korean wave”, which has hit Malaysian shores over the past decade – are fast gaining popularity among the locals. Catering to rising demands for homegrown chefs who are well-versed in Korean cuisine, UCSI University’s Faculty of Hospitality & Tourism Management has infused its Diploma in Culinary Arts and Diploma in Hotel Management programmes with a Korean focus.
UCSI University’s Diploma in Culinary Arts is a practical course underpinned by a strong theoretical base. Apart from providing a pathway towards higher education, this course does not only provide students with hands-on training – in culinary arts and the food service sector – but also focuses on equipping students with the fundamental skills for supervisory and management level positions in both local and global food service and culinary arts industries.
