The programme allows eligible postgraduate students from UTM to spend a portion of their studies at UQ, culminating in the award of two master\u2019s degrees, one from each institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ms. Rachel Li Minyi, from UTM\u2019s Master of Science in International Hospitality Management programme, recently became the first UTM student to graduate from the \u20181+1 Dual Master\u2019s Degree Programme\u2019. As part of the scheme, she arrived in Australia in July 2023 to begin her second year of postgraduate studies, after an initial year at UTM. She says her experiences at UQ have deepened her understanding of global aspects of the tourism and hospitality industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her goal when enrolling on the dual master\u2019s degree programme was \u201cunderstanding trends and innovations that shape global tourism and hospitality standards,\u201d beyond the rapid changes taking place in the Chinese market, she explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ms. Li reports she especially enjoyed the \u201cblend of theory and practical application\u201d offered at UQ. \u201cThe global perspective integrated into the curriculum is incredibly beneficial, preparing me well for international career opportunities,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She thinks the time spent at UQ has equipped her with \u201ccritical analytical skills, a robust understanding of the global tourism market, and practical experiences through various extracurricular activities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the Australian university, Ms. Li took on several volunteering and other roles, which she credits with enriching her time there, and her education overall. \u201cAs a volunteer at various art exhibitions and as a planner for events within my courses, I have gained practical experience that extends beyond the theoretical knowledge learned in lectures,\u201d Ms. Li notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOrganising these events required thorough planning, effective communication, and teamwork, all of which are essential skills in any professional setting,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ms. Li encourages UTM postgraduate students to make the most of the exchange opportunities on offer. She adds: \u201cI would recommend UQ for its excellent academic programmes, diverse community, and strong support systems.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Editor: UTM Public Relations Team<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ms. Rachel Li is the first UTM student to graduate from a dual master\u2019s degree programme linked to The University of Queensland in Australia.
