The hospitality industry forms a key part of the economy across the globe. From entertainment and recreation to accommodation and food service, it is a highly diverse industry that requires flexible, responsive managers to successfully guide businesses.
This major provides the practical, vocational workplace skills combined with the theoretical knowledge necessary to operate in a business context. You will be involved in projects such as corporate events, industry visits, film festivals, outdoor sporting events and concerts. You could move into roles such as food and beverage manager, front of house manager, restaurant manager, bar and gaming manager.
You will develop skills to analyse, design and execute judgement using a wide range of technical, creative, conceptual and managerial competencies. Subjects include bar operations, food and beverage, managing finances, customer service, human resource management and business planning. Work will be done in various hospitality and tourism settings like restaurants, hotels, catering operations, clubs, nightclubs and cafes.
This qualification provides a pathway to work in events in a range of industries including tourism and travel, hospitality, sport, cultural, and community sectors. After graduating with a Bachelor of Business and a TAFE Advanced Diploma of Event Management, you could work in event management companies, event venues or organisations that run their own events.
The first year and a half of the degree is a combination of TAFE and University study while the last half of the degree is University only. Within the Bachelor of Business component of the degree, you can major in human resource management, management, marketing or public relations to complement your TAFE Advanced Diploma of Hospitality Management.
You will also undertake a final-year capstone subject that lets you apply everything you've learned up to that point in collaboration with students from other disciplines. Plus, you have the option of applying for an internship to gain valuable experience whilst receiving credit towards your degree.
