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.

Course Requirements

This course is offered in conjunction and concurrently with the TAFE Advanced Diploma in Hospitality. The Hospitality component will be delivered by TAFE and result in the award of an Advanced Diploma in Hospitality.

To qualify for award of the degree of Bachelor of Commerce (Hospitality Management) a candidate shall accrue an aggregate of at least 144 credit points by satisfactory completion of subjects listed in the program of study.

Of the 144 credit points not more than 72 credit points shall be for 100-level subjects.

Credit arrangement pathways may be organised between the TAFE Advanced Diploma in Hospitality and the University of Wollongong's Bachelor of Commerce (Hospitality Management) provided these courses are completed concurrently.
