One of the features of Higher Diploma Programme in Recreation and Leisure Management is equipping students with substantial knowledge and theories for organising large scale events.
Students play an important role in preparing and planning such as promotion, decoration, logistics, working as emcees, etc. These enable students to bring their talent into action and gain actual work experience. These opportunities help students to develop their strengths and fully demonstrate their diverse talents. Students will be able to recognize their abilities through taking up different roles at the event which also helps them to develop transferrable skills for the workplace or further study in the university.
Students actively participate in different types of sports, recreational and adventure activities which broaden their horizons.
