A post from AIHM Student Ambassador Julie Khin, first-year BBA degree student in Global Hospitality Management from Yangon, Myanmar.

AIHM is home to students from all over the world. We’re a small school where we all get to know each other. Despite our small size, we have students from over ten different cultures and nationalities. Of course, there are many students from Thailand, but a lot of us come from across the region and all around the world.

AIHM’s Meet the Instructor series lets you get to know the hardworking, inspirational individuals who guide our students on their AIHM journeys. Each faculty member brings their own talents, background, passion and expertise to their teaching. Learn how they became the teachers they are today. Glimpse a bit of their life outside the classroom. Read about the life experiences that have shaped them and their teaching philosophies.

AIHM’s hospitality management curriculum takes students on an exhilarating journey. One of its highlights: the Practical Arts semester. A hands-on exploration of hotel operations, the Practical Arts course invites students to experience a variety of hotel areas from the work of the baristas to housekeeping to events management studies.

Some people you meet radiate energy and inspiration. They have a smile that’s contagious. They walk in a room, and it instantly brightens. Samantha Lauver-Marion, AIHM’s Head of Student Engagement, is a shining example!

A career in hospitality can take you around the world. Just ask Tip Tirakanirunkul, AIHM instructor in the Practical Arts. Originally from Thailand, she began her higher education locally before pursuing culinary training and a successful pastry career in Europe. Journeying full circle, she returned to her home country several years ago to share her hospitality expertise at universities in Thailand.

If you find yourself at a crossroads in your professional journey, seeking a path filled with excitement and rewards, let me share a hidden gem with you – the captivating world of hospitality management in Asia and South-East Asia. Regardless of where you are on life's timeline, a career in hospitality management in this region offers remarkable opportunities and a chance to make a real difference.  

Training a new generation of leaders means utilising a new generation of training tactics. How does the Asian Institute of Hospitality Management prepare its students with skills relevant to business today and the always-changing needs of the hotel industry?

Do you feel out of your depth when business discussions turn to financial topics? This crash course makes the mystifying world of finance and accounting easy for you. Gain an understanding of the most important financial tools and concepts.

Hospitality education comes in many forms, from on-the-job training to MBA programmes. When most people think of hospitality education though, the first thing that comes to mind is a Bachelor’s degree in hospitality management from a prestigious hotel school. This is a fantastic option for individuals aspiring to a successful career in hospitality management, but it’s not the only option out there.
