MUIC taught us not only inside the book but also outside the book. With Tourism and Hospitality program, I have learnt a lot from our best lecturers and also from staffs at Salaya Pavilion. To work in food industry, I would say it's very hard and get a lot of pressure, but MUIC has prepared me well enough for the outside world. Last but not least, I am so proud to say that I am MUIC alumni.

Pornsiree Charatsrivilai

All of my being today I proudly credit to MUIC. I still remember my very first day in campus when I was so nervous and had no ideas what my college life would be like. Today, I'm so thankful for the incredible experiences I gained from teachers, friends, also those lovely MUIC officials. When anyone asked me where I graduated from, I give them a big smile and proudly say, 'MUIC.'

Studying in the Tourism and Hospitality Management program does not mean you cannot cross over to other segments or industries. I really believe the academic knowledge that MUIC has provided me has definitely enhanced my abilities to become who I am now. I'd like to mention here the incredible friendships and networks that I had built with my MUIC brothers and sisters. My time here has always been a precious moment in my life!

If you know or got to work with MUIC students/alumni, you will see how determined and driven they are. They have the ability to make things happen and a strong drive to succeed. That's why they always thrive.

Nattawut Wetprasit

MUIC did not only give me academic skills but soft skills, as well. These are intangible skills which are very important and necessary to successfully lead and work with others. During my studies, I have built such a strong network of friends and alumni through various outside-of-class activities and this personal connection proved to be highly valuable.

My experience from MUIC comes as a whole package. The real education I managed to take away from my time in MUIC was beyond the course material of my field of study. The foundation to my success can be more attributed to bigger skill sets such as collaboration, networking, and creative thinking.
