Mr. Michael Chen, Regional Manager for Greater China matters from UQ\u2019s Faculty of Business, Economics &amp; Law, participated in the event via video call, offering insights into the programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Launched in academic year 2022\/2023, the 1+1 Dual Master\u2019s Degree Programme enables eligible postgraduate students at IFTM to pursue a portion of their studies at UQ. On successful completion of the dual programme, participants are awarded a master\u2019s degree certificate from IFTM, and also receive a master\u2019s degree certificate in Tourism, Hotel and Event Management from the Australian institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the session, Mr. Chen engaged with IFTM students, discussing various aspects of the UQ experience. This included information on living conditions, weather, the cost of living, and a comprehensive campus overview. He also provided a detailed outline of UQ\u2019s academic strengths, and background information about its faculty members and researchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Practical details of the 1+1 Dual Master\u2019s Degree Programme were covered, including communication between IFTM and UQ departments, programme entry requirements, and the availability of scholarships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Chen highlighted UQ\u2019s global standing. It is 43rd worldwide in the QS World University Rankings 2024, and secured 51st position in the Academic Ranking of World Universities 2023. UQ clinched 8th spot in ShanghaiRanking\u2019s 2023 Global Ranking of Academic Subjects in the field of hospitality and tourism management, showcasing its expertise in this area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Addressing the timelines for completing the Tourism, Hotel and Event Management master\u2019s degree programme at UQ, Mr. Chen explained: \u201cFor students from tourism, hospitality and event backgrounds, one and a half years is needed. For students from other academic backgrounds, typically they need two years to complete all course credits.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor IFTM postgraduate students, they can transfer their IFTM credits and save half a year, fulfilling the graduation requirement and obtaining the master\u2019s degree from our side,\u201d Mr. Chen explained, making reference to the 1+1 Dual Master\u2019s Degree Programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Applicants interested in joining the programme must have completed a bachelor\u2019s degree programme in event management, hospitality management, hotel management, or tourism management, with a GPA of 4.5 out of 7. Applicants from other bachelor\u2019s degree programmes also can be considered, and their study plan will be reviewed on an individual basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Successful completion of the first year of study in any of the eligible IFTM master\u2019s degree programmes and proficiency in English are also the prerequisites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Chen reiterated UQ\u2019s commitment to excellence through the offer of scholarships to outstanding applicants. \u201cWe welcome IFTM students to take the opportunity and come to UQ,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Participating in the briefing session via video call was Rachel Li Minyi, a postgraduate student from IFTM\u2019s Master of Science programme in International Hospitality Management. As the first participant in the 1+1 Dual Master\u2019s Degree Programme, Rachel is currently completing the UQ segment of her studies. She praised the academic environment at the Australian university and highlighted the supportive peer network available to her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rachel described the scheme as \u201can unique chance\u201d for IFTM postgraduate students, and expressed confidence that it would bring happiness to those who choose to embark on this academic journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next round of applications for the 1+1 Dual Master\u2019s Degree Programme is scheduled to run between March 15 and 31. \u201cI\u2019m looking forward to seeing your faces at the UQ campus,\u201d Mr Chen said at the end of the briefing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Enrolment procedures and benefits of IFTM\u2019s 1+1 Dual Master\u2019s Degree Programme offered in partnership with Australia\u2019s University of Queensland were highlighted in the briefing To encourage IFTM students to take [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":10887,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1703],"tags":[2870,1669,185,2073,400,2727,2407,1901,402,2796],"class_list":["post-10882","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-postgraduate-studies","tag-1-dual-masters-degree-programme","tag-australia","tag-hospitality","tag-iftm","tag-macao","tag-macao-institute-for-tourism-studies","tag-masters-degree-2","tag-postgraduate-students","tag-tourism","tag-university-of-queensland","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"views":1171,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10882","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=10882"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10882\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10896,"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10882\/revisions\/10896"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10887"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10882"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10882"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10882"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
