Welcome to the Faculty of Hospitality, Tourism, and Wellness at Universiti Malaysia Kelantan (UMK)!
As the Dean, I am delighted to share the incredible journey of our faculty over the past seven years since its establishment in 2016. Our commitment to excellence has resulted in significant achievements, with a notable surge in student enrollment since 2021. More than half of our new students have chosen our programs among their top three preferred programs at UMK. We take immense pride in the recognition we have received, including accreditation from the Institute of Hospitality (IOH) —an international professional membership body. The accreditation validates our dedication, quality, and standards maintained by the faculty members, underscoring our commitment to delivering exceptional education in hospitality, tourism, and wellness. One of our most proud uniqueness is entrepreneurship thrust. At UMK, we go beyond just training students to be skilled professionals; we also aim to cultivate a new generation of entrepreneurs in the dynamic fields of hospitality, tourism, and wellness. Our programs integrate entrepreneurship courses, encouraging students to explore and initiate their businesses, particularly in the faculty’s program offerings. In essence, we are molding future entrepreneurs. I warmly welcome all prospective students, academic and industry players, and the community to explore the exciting world of entrepreneurship in hospitality, tourism, and wellness at UMK. Join us in this journey of education, innovation, and success.
Sincerely,
