What You Will Learn

Renamed from Diploma in Hotel & Hospitality Management

The Diploma in Hotel & Leisure Management (DHLM) offers a comprehensive blend of theory and practical skills, empowering students to excel in various aspects of the accommodation and hospitality leisure industry. Through a curriculum designed to incorporate sustainability, technology and business analytics, students gain valuable insights into managing operations and revenue optimisation within the accommodation and hospitality leisure sectors.

In recent years, the leisure travel industry has undergone significant changes, presenting new opportunities for professionals seeking a rewarding career. The advancements in Air Travel, Cruise and Rail services have incorporated aspects of accommodation within these industries, creating a diverse range of career paths. The emerging travel trend, "Bleisure" (Business + Leisure) travel, has paved the way for more integrated experiences that combine work and leisure, offering a more holistic approach to travel. If you're looking for a rewarding career in the leisure travel industry, these changes offer exciting opportunities.

DHLM will equip students for an international journey into the vibrant and interconnected realm of accommodations and leisure management. Dive into exhilarating career opportunities with leading hotel, resort, cruise, air, and rail companies, extending beyond Singapore to encompass the dynamic landscapes of Asia and the world!

For those eager to jumpstart their careers, DHLM offers a structured Talent Advancement Programme (TAP) that provides students a direct route to the workforce. This pathway, supported by guidance from an industry mentor, features short job stints and a one-year (two-semester) internship with strategic industry partners.


InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) Hotels & Resorts is proud to be a partner of RP School of Hospitality. RP students are able to multi-task and problem solve with definitive solutions and options. We look forward to our continued partnership and welcoming many more students to the hotel industry.
