Bachelor of Arts in Tourism & Events and Management (Double Major)
Murdoch University Graduate (2018)
With the bar continually rising, I chose to remain competitive by enhancing my knowledge base with this Double Major to meet new challenges. Upon graduating with a Diploma in Environmental Sciences from Republic Polytechnic, I chose to pursue my Double Major Degree at Murdoch University. It was a perfect combination that helped me hone my management skills as well as deepen my understanding of the tourism and events sector.
The deep-dive into these two areas has benefited me in breadth and depth across multiple disciplines, and has built my confidence to exercise sound judgement in real-life situations. My studies at Murdoch have given me a fresh pair of lenses to view tourism beyond sight-seeing. Through the lessons, I began to understand how overcrowding can hinder locals from carrying out their daily routines, leading to tensions between tourists and locals.
I am glad to say that the programme has propelled me in my career. In my current role as a Human Resources Officer overseeing performance grading, promotions and career development, the Degree’s emphasis on lateral thinking has inspired me to implement in-demand training courses for staff to upgrade their knowledge and skills. Additionally, my Degree has set me up for career progression from Career Development Officer to Performance & Career Development Officer, opening up more opportunities overseas.
Fuelled by my belief that education is pivotal in making us adaptable to the changing times, I strongly recommend Murdoch University for its commitment to high standards of teaching and student support, assured by a Dean in Singapore who oversees all educational aspects. Most of all, I credit my lecturers who always go the extra mile to provide professional advice, for where I am today.
