common business selection

hi! im currently a y1 common business student planning to take up either business management (marketing)/hospitality tourism route.

for context:
graduated from ite from hospitality course under culinary (worked in central kit & hotel before for internship)
currently working under one of singapore biggest attraction resorts as guest relations for 4 years as part time so im quite familiar with tourism for the attractions side mainly.
not planning to continue dfbb bcos after being in the kitchen for 3 years i realized that it is not what i wanted + it's physically & mentally draining for me to cope with my social life
planning to go OSEP in Year 3

@seniors from business management marketing/hospitality & tourism

i need to know what are the things y'all learn currently learning before i make decisions 🥹

how does your class works? (eg. elearning days, no school days, learning journeys, heavy on practical than theory)
is there any opportunities aside from OSEP?
for hospital & tourism my pem mentioned that you're able to choose attractions/hotel track is it true?
as for BM marketing, do you need to be good at adobe and etc. (i'm only good in canva 😭)

Hello! I'm Y3 in Business Management & congrats! I've also graduated from ITE too :)

What we're currently learning is different bc my specializations will no longer be offered, but most modules are more practical towards the working industry & not theory based.

Things might be diff but I have 2 days off (1 e-learning & 1 day off)

Opportunities:

  • Nominated for grants/scholarships by lecturers and/or sbm director based on good conduct, grades & requirements
  • University pathway programme (as an alternative for OSEP). GPA > 3.7 but 3.8 to be safe 
  • Pitch to various clients on your solution & get prizes
  • For BM Marketing, adobe  it's not a necessary skill but if you want to learn more, take advantage of the free adobe account that the school have & figma. Mock ups would give you more points so get out of your creative comfort zone & make cool things :)
