Does the prospect of organising Formula One racing in Singapore excite you? Do you fantasise about working alongside three-star Michelin chefs like Gordon Ramsay? Are you looking forward to working at Singapore’s two integrated resorts or the Universal Studios theme park at Sentosa? Step into the hallowed portals of Temasek Polytechnic and let its hospitality, culinary and resort management courses show you the way forward.

Established since 1990, TP is the first polytechnic in Singapore to offer practical hospitality & tourism education and we have been leaders in this field for the past 16 years. With a dynamic, academically rigorous curriculum strongly focused on practical industry experiences, TP offers you the most comprehensive range of courses in the hospitality & tourism industry - from its diploma in Culinary & Catering Management (CCM), to Leisure & Resort Management (LRM) and Hospitality & Tourism Management (HTM).

In addition to setting up a satellite campus, the Tourism Academy @ Sentosa, and the Temasek Culinary Academy, a state-of-the-art food and beverage training complex, TP has also assembled a formidable array of faculty members, providing you with a combined 350 years of experience in the hospitality, tourism and culinary industry.

“What made me want to take the CCM course was hearing that the course has Culinary Institute of America Chefs and award-winning trainers with years of experience.” said Fariz Hakim B Azahari, a second-year CCM student. “I find them immensely capable and they give us a real-time point of view of the service industry.”

TP’s strong industry connections and its overseas student internship programme also enable you to gain valuable insights from industry veterans and acquire a global understanding of the industry. “TP equipped me with the essential skills needed for the tourism industry and offered me plenty of opportunities for personal development which will help me face any challenge in future.” said Sharon Kwek, a TP HTM graduate and recipient of the Singapore Tourism Board Scholarship currently pursuing her Business degree at Nanyang Technological University.

With TP’s long-established links with renowned universities and its industry-relevant curriculum, you can complete your university studies abroad in a shorter time or dive right into a career of your choice. “TP is renowned for their hospitality courses. I joined the LRM course because it’s very well rounded.” said Pamela Seak, a first-year LRM student. “Not only will I end up in the tourism industry, I can actually venture overseas to work at Las Vegas or even Macau.”
