Learning Beyond the Classroom

Our MSc FOODI students recently stepped into the real world of food business as part of their Strategic Food Marketing (MAEF2123) course under the guidance of Dr. Naili Binti Nahar.

Through field visits and interviews with restaurant owners, employees, and customers, students gained valuable insights into strategic and digital food marketing practices in today's Industry 4.0 landscape.

📍 Team A visited Restoran Abbu Bakar, Johor Bahru (https://www.instagram.com/abbubakar_uda?igsh=c3Boa2FvdXIyYTM2)
📍 Team B visited Cafe Kopi Tenggek, Kulai (https://www.facebook.com/share/1DxfS6rCJ2/?mibextid=LQQJ4d)

A big thank you to the owners, staff, and customers of both establishments for sharing their experiences and supporting our students' learning journey.

At AHIBS, we believe the best learning happens when theory meets practice. Experiences like these help prepare our students to become future-ready professionals in the food industry.
