Course Description
The Associate Degree in Tourism furnishes students with a solid understanding of the structure and operating environment in this ever-expanding industry. Analytical skills, critical thinking, problem solving and communication are also developed.
Students are provided with an understanding of the fundamental principles and theories of tourism. Knowledge is then developed and contextualised through study of areas including operations and risk management, economic and global impacts and marketing that will underpin a career in the tourism industry.
Opportunities to go on unique field trips to some of Victoria's tourist destinations and attractions will give you the chance to apply the theory to practise and learn directly from industry leaders.
