COURSE DESCRIPTION
The hospitality industry - from entertainment and recreation to accommodation and food service - forms a key part of many nations' economies, including Australia. It is a highly dynamic industry that requires flexible, responsive managers to successfully guide businesses.
The degree provides the practical 'hands-on' experience in the TAFE Advanced Diploma combined with the theoretical knowledge of business subjects in the Bachelor of Commerce degree.
Applicants need to be 18 years of age by 1 April in their first year of study.
Students are unable to progress directly into the Bachelor of Commerce (Hospitality Management) following completion of the October intake of the UOW College University Access Program, or July intake of Foundation Studies, due to the early commencement date of the TAFE Advanced Diploma.
All applications should be directed to the University in the first instance.
