Putting your way to a successful career

ARE you passionate about the game of golf? Do you have the right attitude, determination and the drive to succeed? Do you want to remain as an amateur, turn professional or manage golf and country clubs?

If so, BERJAYA University College of Hospitality (BERJAYA UCH) has launched the Diploma in Golf Management to provide various platforms for golfers to challenge their skills while aspiring to make a living.

The first of its kind in Malaysia, the programme teaches students the fundamentals of golf, motor, mental and life skills, golf clubs and resorts management, economics, accounting, entrepreneurial skills, high performance coaching, player mentoring and on-course development.

The programme provides students with career pathways either as an amateur or professional tour player, managing operations of golf courses and golf clubs, as a teaching professional, a tournament director or an industry-related business entrepreneur.

With the support of the Berjaya Corporation Group of Companies, students get internship opportunities and first job priority at a variety of Golf Clubs and Resorts like Berjaya Hills Golf and Country Club, Tioman Island Golf Club, Bukit Banang Golf and Country Club, Kelab Darul Ehsan, Bukit Kiara Equestrian and Country Resort, Bukit Jalil Golf and Country Resort and Staffield Country Resort.

Arising from a game of trying to “sink” the ball into a series of holes strategically placed in the greens with as few strokes as possible, the sport has managed to keep up with the times, continues to grow globally and has evolved into a technical and precision driven game earning the industry billions of dollars each year.

Be ready to develop your golf game and knowledge to achieve your full potential.

As Jack Nicklaus said, “Don’t be too proud to take a lesson. I’m not.”

However, Bobby Jones aptly puts it this way, “Golf is the closest game to the game we call life. You get bad breaks from good shots; you get good breaks from bad shots – but you have to play the ball where it lies.”

BERJAYA UCH is arguably Malaysia’s premier University College in the fields of Hospitality, Culinary Arts, Tourism and Event Management, situated in the golden triangle of Kuala Lumpur.

Located on the 11th and 14th floor of Berjaya Times Square, it is conceptually designed with a five-star hotel ambiance equipped with the most comprehensive and advanced facilities that mirror real world settings.

BERJAYA UCH also offers courses in Business and Liberal Arts.

BERJAYA UCH is working to make higher education more accessible, affordable and attainable for everyone.

The PTPTN education financing scheme is available to Malaysian students.

Its affiliation with the Berjaya Corporation Group of Companies also allows it to host several bursary schemes and education scholarships available to both local and international students.
