Bachelor of Commerce (Tourism Management)

course description

Tourism is a worldwide industry that continues to play an important part in both wealthy nations and developing economies. It can be in many ways the business of adventure, but is also global community and creating wealth at every level from local to global. The industry also supports a number of innovative specialist fields including eco-tourism and global volunteering.

The Bachelor of Commerce (Tourism Management) is delivered jointly by the University and TAFE NSW. The course offers practical, vocational workplace skills and a knowledge of the tourism industry through successful completion of the TAFE Advanced Diploma of Travel and Tourism, together with a broader conceptual base that covers the principal areas of business necessary for senior level management. Specific topics include Marketing Research, Consumer Behaviour, Services Marketing and Communications.

Students are unable to progress directly into the Bachelor of Commerce (Tourism 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 of Travel and Tourism.

All applications should be directed to the University in the first instance.
