Business in Tourism and Hospitality Management

The Bachelor of Business in Tourism and Hospitality Management prepares students for a career in tourism and hospitality, providing a thorough understanding of tourism and hospitality management underpinned by core business skills.

This course combines a rigorous and contemporary curriculum with practical industry-based experience and the opportunity to develop professional networks. Students will graduate with the skills and knowledge sought after by tourism and hospitality employers both in Australia and overseas.

There are two pathways within this course. Students can either study elective units from a broad range of industry-specific topics (such as international destination management, cruise ship tourism, coastal and marine tourism, food and beverage management, event management, gaming management and sport tourism), or select one of three majors.

This course offers an optional international exchange program for second year students to study in the United States, Canada, England, Austria, the Netherlands or Hong Kong.

An internship program, which counts as four units of the degree, provides students with a block of practical workplace experience during their final study session that involves working in a hospitality, event or tourism organisation in Australia or overseas.
