“My university life at Curtin Malaysia was nothing short of fascinating. Curtin Malaysia is really committed to providing academic quality and preparing students to be competent and competitive in the workplace. The well-designed Tourism and Hospitality and Marketing coursework, learning materials and class activities were highly practical as they included both theoretical learning and hands-on experience.

“I took advantage of the course’s internship unit which can be used to replace a study unit, allowing students to work in a real industry environment during their final year. This not only gave me added industry exposure and networking opportunities, but also ended in me being hired permanently upon completion of my internship.

“Another thing I appreciated was how approachable my lecturers and tutors were, especially when I needed guidance with tougher coursework assessments. Their helpfulness and patience listening to my problems and helping me figure out potential solutions contributed greatly to my completing the 3-year course successfully.

“I also appreciated that Curtin Malaysia is very technology-focused. This was critical when COVID-19 hit and we had to switch entirely to online learning. We were glad to be able to continue effective learning online with continued support from our lecturers and tutors and access to a wide range of online resources. It meant I could complete my course and graduate on schedule without unnecessary delay.” –Kevin Lo Siong Ket, Tourism and Hospitality and Marketing graduate (Brunei)
