Why Hospitality & Tourism at KDU College?
A SWISS EXPERIENCE
The Hospitality, Tourism & Culinary Arts @ KDU begins with being the only Hospitality, Tourism and Culinary Arts School in Malaysia that offers a complete Swiss Experience. Our prestigious partner is IMI University Centre (IMI) from Lucerne, Switzerland, the birthplace of the hotel industry.
The School of Hospitality, Tourism and Culinary Arts (SHTCA) at KDU College signed an MOU with IMI in 1997 which enabled the College to offer the IMI Programmes in Malaysia. In so doing KDU became the first private college to offer students, at both the Petaling Jaya and Penang campuses, the opportunity to obtain prestigious Swiss qualifications without having to go abroad.
One of the unique features of the KDU–IMI program is the exposure to industry placement in reputable local or international hotels and restaurants where practical skills are enhanced in real-life situations. Read about Dennis' Industrial Training in Germany.
