Associate Degree of Business (Hospitality and Tourism Management)

The Associate Degree of Business (Hospitality and Tourism Management) is embedded in the Bachelor of Business (Hospitality and TourismManagement) and has been designed as an exit qualification.

It prepares students with the skills needed for paraprofessional of hospitality and tourism industry roles and further study at the bachelor level.

The course provides students with a broad general education focusing on developing students’ knowledge and skills in business and hospitality tourism management skills and competencies.
Students are required to study eight core units which include Academic Skills for Success; Marketing Foundations; Business Communication and Stakeholder Management; Principles of Management and Organisations; Foundations of Information Technology; Business and Corporations Law; Statistical Data Analysis for Business; and Leadership and Evidence-based Business Decision Making.

These core units are enhanced with six specialised hospitality and tourism management units which include Introduction of Hospitality and Tourism; Food and Beverage Management; Accommodation Services; Quality Customer Service; Global Innovation and Future Thinking; and Visitor Management.

Some of the higher level units are generic, including those dealing with statistical data analysis, law and leadership. Students select two electives out of a pool of units to complement the core and specialised units.

These studies are designed to produce graduates who have the foundations of a coherent and cohesive body of understanding at the general business and hospitality and tourism management level.
