Welcome Note
WELCOME to IFT (Institute for Tourism Studies)!
Institute for Tourism Studies (IFT) is a public institution of higher education that falls under the governance of
the Secretary for Social Affairs and Culture of the Macao Special Administrative Region Government,
People’s Republic of China. It is the first tourism education institution certified by the United Nations World
Tourism Organization’s Themis TedQual (Tourism Education Quality) system.
IFT offers degree and professional programmes in a wide range of tourism-related disciplines such as
hospitality, tourism business, heritage, events, retail and marketing, leisure and entertainment, sports and
recreation, creative and cultural studies, and culinary arts. IFT also delivers various programmes at the
executive and postgraduate levels in partnership with leading tourism schools in the world. The Institute is
entrusted by the local authorities to conduct policy level research related to tourism planning and
development.
The mission of IFT is to become an international tertiary institution of choice for tourism and service industry
studies. Not only for the benefits of Macao, but also for the Asia Pacific region, it will equip students with
professional knowledge and technical competence in preparation for their future leadership responsibilities in
the industry. In order to fulfil the above mission, the Institute has the following three characteristics:
1. Unique Identity – The Institute operates independently, specialising in providing higher education and
professional training in tourism and service industry management.
2. Integration – It blends the best approaches of academic development and professional training.
3. Internationalisation – It seeks mutually beneficial cooperation with similar institutions abroad, actively
promoting international learning experience among faculty and students.
Being a student member of this Institute, you may be eager to know more about it, to get acquainted with
other students, to participate in student’s/Institute’s activities and to make good use of the learning
opportunities and available facilities. Equally, however, you are required to understand the rules and
regulations concerning your studies and various types of activities.
This Student Handbook is an annual publication which serves as an information directory to answer the
questions you may have during your studies at Tourism College (TC). Should you encounter any difficulties,
please do not hesitate to contact Technical and Academic Support Division
