At the Faculty of Hospitality Management and Catering Technology, research offers students, faculty members, and scholars the opportunity to develop solutions and products that address industry challenges, improve efficiency, and ensure growth.
Research is also viewed as yet another avenue through which individuals can further explore their field of study. It contextualizes classroom learning, plugging gaps in knowledge and developing a thorough understanding of real-world work conditions.
Additionally, the multidisciplinary approach to research at FHMCT encourages students to collaborate with peers and experts from different disciplines. This promotes teamwork, a crucial skill in the workplace today. Students also hone their critical thinking, analytical, and communication skills, thereby enhancing their employability.
The exposure gained through research activities prepares students well for their careers, even presenting a jumpstart for those who wish to work in research.
FHMCT and RUAS encourage and support academic or industry-driven research projects that are financially supported by external organizations. The goal of these projects is advancing knowledge, addressing industry challenges, and finding practical solutions to enhance operations, guest experiences, and overall efficiency within the hospitality sector.
