PhD Student, The University of Queensland, Business School
Studying in NKUHT and moving to Taiwan is one of the greatest opportunities I have received in life. The university gave me the luxury to immerse with multinational classmates, connect with international experts, and maximize my learning experience by using the school’s world-class facilities.
As such, being part of the pioneer International Master’s Program in Tourism and Hospitality (IMTH) cohort – the first full English-taught graduate program in the school, gave me the privilege to attend courses which are facilitated by world-renowned academicians, industry professionals, and editors of top-notch academic journals across the globe. This kind of exposure has allowed me to not only broaden my theoretical & practical understanding of Tourism, Hospitality, Leisure, and Culinary Arts but also expand my network as I create linkages to the world.
I believe that this experience equipped me with the proper skills that would help advance my career in the future. Although I have had some difficulties studying in a foreign country, NKUHT provides a supportive community reflective of the loving and hospitable character the Taiwanese people have. Making friends and creating good relations with people around the campus have made my life in Taiwan easier and more fulfilling. With this, I am confident that I have made the right decision in pursuing my degree in IMTH, NKUHT.

IMTH has exceeded my expectation! As student, I am privileged to be taught by 'world-class scholars' such as Professor Alastair Morrison, Professor Fevzi Okumus, Professor Catheryn Khoo-Lattimore and others. It is an honour and privilege to be here.
Nikki (Taiwan)
While studying in the International Master's Program of Tourism and Hospitality, I felt very fulfilled. The teacher of the faculty includes professional professors and the top scholars in the field of hospitality and tourism. These international masters are evaluated by the faculty, so the diverse teaching methods and rich teaching materials of the scholars can enhance the professional knowledge of students. International masters are very kind, students can freely exchange ideas with them in the classroom, which gives students more learning space. Some of my friends ask me why I want to study for a master's degree in the field of hospitality and tourism. I think that learning is endless. Studying in this master's program made me find many shortcomings. I want to study hard and become a better person. I do not regret deciding to study in this master's program.
