Bachelor of Business (Hospitality Management) Degree Course:
Hospitality is any situation in which there is a host and a guest brought together through the provision of a service. Traditionally these services are related to food, drink or accommodation but it is now recognised that hospitality is much broader than that. With this qualification, you can feast your eyes on an exciting role in hotel management, entrepreneurship, service management, travel or transport management, and other general business management careers in both the traditional and e-commerce environments.

If you love people, a hospitality career could be just what you’re looking for. This program gives you a taste of what a hospitality career has to offer.

Bachelor of Business (Tourism Management) Degree Course:

Travel – whether for business or pleasure – and its growing influence on the global economy has led to tourism management being one of the most popular fields of study in higher education.
