Faculty of Hospitality & Tourism Studies
On 22 April 1987, the U.N.D.P, with the help of the European Union (EEC), established the School of Hotel and Catering Services, to train people in the tourism sector. In January 1998, the School of Hotel and Catering Services, which under the Ministry of Tourism was transferred to the Maldives College of Higher Education on 01 February, forming the Faculty of Hospitality and Tourism Studies (FHTS). With the introduction of an undergraduate program in Hospitality and Tourism Studies, it became the highest qualification in this field in the country.
