The Course
Soaring skyscrapers, sail-shaped condominium towers, integrated resorts with classy hotels, luxury shops, fancy restaurants, conventions centres, glitzy casinos and a new waterfront promenade - these will be part of the new city centre at Marina Bay, expected to be completed by 2009. Together with the integrated resort on Sentosa, these new facilities are expected to change the way Singaporeans work, live and interact.
These new and unique residential, entertainment, business and financial facilities require professionals who are specifically trained to manage these specialised facilities. This course will equip you with business, design and engineering fundamentals that provide a strong platform for the hospitality industry and the application of facility management in areas such as finance, quality assessment, planning, infocomm, automation, security and design.
