O que eu aprenderei?

The School of Hotel and Tourism Management‘s (SHTM) Doctor of Hotel and Tourism Management programme is designed for senior industry executives, senior staff in governmental and non-governmental tourism organisations, and academics who are seeking a professional doctorate in hotel and tourism management.

This is a self-financed credit-based programme offered in a mixed study mode, with the option of full-time or part-time modes. Subjects are designed to accommodate the learning needs of mature and experienced industry leaders and educators who already hold a Master of Science degree in Hotel and Tourism Management, or an equivalent qualification.

Learning and teaching methods are participant centred, with a significant emphasis on experiential exercises, seminars and self-guided study. Individual subjects are designed to focus on innovation, creativity and developing research skills in the dynamic hotel and tourism management sector, all within the unique Asian context.

Program structure:

Students must complete 51 credits to earn a Doctor of Hotel and Tourism Management degree. The programme consists of nine subjects totalling 27 credits and a 24-credit thesis. These subjects have been designed to develop the student's professional competence to an advanced level.

Among the subjects, students must complete five compulsory subjects, two subjects from the specialism streams, and two elective subjects. Each of the nine subjects carries a standard weight of three credits. The thesis consists of two parts: a proposal and the formal thesis. The programme also includes two compulsory residential schools. The first is held at the start of the D.HTM to introduce students to each other, the staff and the D.HTM programme. The second involves an overseas study tour as part of the Asian Paradigm in Hospitality Management.

Specialism Stream

Students can select one of two specialism streams, or can choose an integrated study option by taking a subject from each stream. The Academic/NTO stream has a strong research and education focus, including an education and research seminar subject. The Industry stream features subjects that are more relevant to senior industry officials, including innovation and management seminars.

Electives

Students can take two elective subjects to broaden their knowledge base. These can be selected from subjects offered in a specialism stream, advanced statistics, independent study, or subjects from the MSc in International Hospitality Management or International Tourism and Convention Management programme. Students may also be able to take subjects from other doctoral programmes with the approval of the programme leader. Students who have not taken a Master-level research methods subject or a Master-level research project/thesis must complete the MSc Research Methods subject or equivalent as one of their elective options.
