The Tourism Academy @ Sentosa is a collaborative effort between The Sentosa Leisure Group, which manages Singapore's only island resort of Sentosa, and Temasek Polytechnic, a government tertiary institution that is renowned for its market-oriented and industry-relevant education.
Located on Sentosa, a resort island, the Academy spreads over a complex of historical buildings. The Academy is also the first institution in Asia to have its campus right in the heart of a thriving resort destination, where students can enjoy the close proximity to the numerous attractions and facilities available on the island.
The Tourism Academy @ Sentosa offers both its local and international students some real action and very hands-on lessons where the entire island with its many attractions will be their classroom!
Temasek Polytechnic offers a Diploma in Hospitality & Tourism Business which is a two-year full-time programme. This course is done entirely on its satellite campus on Sentosa. The diploma can propel you to exciting jobs in sectors like hotels and resorts, travel and tourism, food and beverage, attractions, leisure, and MICE (Meetings Incentives Conventions Exhibitions).
Or it can serve as a pathway to a degree.
A lot of emphasis
is placed in building confidence in solving problems, having a network
of international friends and projecting a professional presence.
