The elation associated with donning a graduation gown is a special feeling familiar to alumni of institutions across the world, including graduates of IFTM.<\/p>\n<p>The Institute is taking a significant step in order to make its own graduation ceremonies more environmentally-friendly. From academic year 2020\/2021, all IFTM programmes \u2013 at either diploma, bachelor degree or postgraduate level \u2013 will employ the same basic form of graduation gown. Only the hood and tassel of the gown will vary, depending on the respective programme completed by the student.<\/p>\n<p>This means, for example, that IFTM bachelor degree graduates can reuse their gown for a postgraduate award ceremony if they enrol for further studies. They will only need to replace the hood and tassel.<\/p>\n<p>IFTM is the first higher education institution in Macao introducing such a \u2018green\u2019 system for its graduation gowns. The Institute\u2019s management says it hopes the move will promote sustainable practices in society locally, and be an added benefit for IFTM graduates wishing to further their studies through the Institute.<\/p>\n<p>IFT launched its first group of postgraduate programmes in academic year 2019\/2020. The new programmes \u2013 at postgraduate diploma, master\u2019s degree and PhD level \u2013 help strengthen the Institute\u2019s role as a regional and international hub for tourism and hospitality education.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The graduation ceremony is a highlight in the academic life of any student in higher education.
