Question:
What does Online Study and Work mean?
Patrick Franssen:
The aim is to have students in Thailand study at one of the best Tourism and hospitality universities in Asia; the Guilin Tourism University, from Guanxi province in China.
Not just that, the students will be trained to speak, understand Chinese language and culture and therefor will be able to interact succesfully with the large inflow of Chinese tourists we expect the coming years in Thailand.
Again, students will learn online from teachers at GTU and will be mentored locally on campus in Thailand.
On this location they will interact and work with Chinese and other students as soon as these will be allowed to return to Thailand after Covid (we expect latest beginning 2022.
Q:
What is the link with Guilin Tourism University?
PF:
The campus in Thailand offers complete curriculum for the individual students as GTU defines this for its online courses.
these courses are on par and result in the same degree as for those students who study on campus in Hua Hin as for those who study on campus at GTU in Guangxi.
All tests, exams and supervsion, as well as accreditation is completely in hands of the Chinese teachers at GTU and leads to a degree under the Chinese education system.

When will the first students start their studies?

We will have our first students starting on November 1!
