the 2022\/2023 academic year, IFTM introduced a \u20181+1 Dual Master\u2019s Degree Programme\u2019 in collaboration with The University of Queensland (UQ), one of Australia\u2019s leading teaching and research higher education institutions. Rachel Li Minyi, a postgraduate student from IFTM\u2019s Master of Science programme in International Hospitality Management, is among the first people to take part in the scheme. She talks of a \u201ctransformative\u201d journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rachel, currently in Australia where she is undertaking her second year of postgraduate studies under the \u20181+1 Dual Master\u2019s Degree Programme\u2019, describes her experience so far as \u201can enlightening journey filled with academic and personal growth.\u201d The collaboration between IFTM and UQ, benefitting from the latter\u2019s \u201cunique courses, diverse teaching methods, and extracurricular activities,\u201d provides students with a global perspective that enriches their understanding of the tourism and hospitality industry, she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The programme allows eligible postgraduate students pursuing a master\u2019s degree at IFTM to undertake a portion of their studies at UQ. Upon successfully completing the 2-year dual master\u2019s programme, participants will receive a master\u2019s degree certificate from IFTM and one from the Australian institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rachel expresses her excitement about the nature of the scheme, noting it is fulfilling her goal of studying abroad to broaden her horizons. She highlights UQ\u2019s diverse course offerings as one of the dual degree\u2019s standout features, complementing IFTM\u2019s course portfolio and providing \u201cfresh knowledge and unique perspectives\u201d aligned with industry trends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She comments: \u201cThese courses offered me a more comprehensive understanding of the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to her, studying in Australia has not only expanded her academic perspectives but has also given her fresh insights into the international tourism and hospitality industry, especially within the Australian context. \u201cThis global outlook is invaluable for understanding the industry\u2019s direction and prospects.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rachel commends UQ\u2019s distinctive teaching approach, where courses are divided into lectures and tutorials. She finds tutorials, with their personalised interaction, instrumental in seeking answers to individual questions and engaging with classmates from a variety of backgrounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond the classroom, Rachel highlights the abundance of extracurricular activities at UQ, from volunteering opportunities to collaborative exchanges with local businesses. Brisbane, the city where the university is situated, adds another layer to the experience with its abundant sunshine, lively lifestyle, and diverse cultural and sports events, she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rachel emphasises that joining the \u20181+1 Dual Master\u2019s Degree Programme\u2019 was a straightforward process, thanks to the extensive support from both IFTM and its Australian counterpart. She encourages fellow postgraduate students at IFTM to seize the \u201cremarkable opportunity\u201d offered by the programme, in order to enrich their worldview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iftm.edu.mo\/stm\/en\/programmes\/DualMasters\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a> to know more about IFTM\u2019s \u20181+1 Dual Master\u2019s Degree Programme\u2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Postgraduate student Rachel Li from IFTM shares insights into her Australian studies as part of the \u20181+1 Dual Master&#8217;s Degree Programme\u2019 established between the Institute and The University of Queensland [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":10636,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1703],"tags":[2798,1669,2073,2797,1070,2727,946,1648,2795,2796],"class_list":["post-10630","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-postgraduate-studies","tag-11-dual-masters-degree-programme","tag-australia","tag-iftm","tag-international-exposure","tag-international-hospitality-management","tag-macao-institute-for-tourism-studies","tag-masters-degree","tag-postgraduate-studies","tag-queensland","tag-university-of-queensland","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"views":199,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10630","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10630"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10630\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10643,"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10630\/revisions\/10643"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10636"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10630"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10630"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10630"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
