The School

The School of Tourism and Hospitality Management is a pioneer of tourism education in Australia, having offered innovative tourism and hospitality degrees since 1989. With our history comes many years of accumulated knowledge and experience in delivering world-class tourism, hospitality and events courses that accommodate the changing needs of twenty-first century students.

We offer a range of undergraduate and coursework masters courses that produce graduates able meet the challenges of working in the tourism and hospitality industries. Our degrees are industry-relevant and academically rigorous and equip students with the perfect blend of theory, practical skills and creative approaches to establish their careers.

Our award winning 20-week internship program provides a near seamless transition from university study to a career in the diverse tourism and hospitality industries. Many final year students are offered full-time work by their internship organisation, providing an excellent springboard into the tourism industry.

The School enjoys long-standing professional relationships with the tourism industry at local, regional, state and national levels and has developed a strong international culture. Many overseas students study with us at one of our three Australian campuses, at The Hotel School Sydney, or at one our collaborating institutions overseas.

We have a strong research culture and actively contribute to global knowledge concerning tourism and hospitality. The School has two research centres, the Centre for Gambling Education and Research and the Centre for Tourism, Leisure and Work. Research degree candidates are supervised by academics highly regarded in their field.

There are many reasons why we are a great place to study. We encourage you to find out more.
