PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The Master of Tourism Management (Professional) program is designed for students requiring advanced knowledge within the tourism discipline. This program prepares students for senior professional and managerial roles. Students complete a program of core business subjects and advanced tourism subjects designed to enhance their conceptual, analytical, and management abilities.

Students complete all subjects from the Master of Tourism Management program, and then have the option of undertaking a 20 week Work Integrated Learning subject.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

Admission to the Master of Tourism Management (MTM) program requires successful completion of a recognised Bachelor degree or qualifications and/or relevant professional experience deemed equivalent by the Faculty Dean.

Enrolment

International Students: To fulfil your student visa requirements, you’ll need to enrol in 30cp per semester. However, you may enrol in 40cp per semester (with your Program Advisor’s authorisation) which will reduce the time to complete your program.

Domestic Students have the option of undertaking either 30 or 40cp per semester.

PROFESSIONAL OUTCOMES

Graduates should have highly developed analytical and management skills that will enable them to professionally advance their career prospects within the global tourism industry.

Work Experience & Internships

Some students without practical work experience, or with workplace experience in a field different from their studies, choose to undertake an internship as part of their degree. This intensely practical professional development approach fosters graduates who are ready, willing and able to hit the ground running and make an immediate impact in the workplace.

WORK INTEGRATED LEARNING

Work Integrated Learning is designed to promote and support student learning, personal development and professional practice. Students are responsible for sourcing industry projects themselves and are mentored by academic staff and their industry sponsor with agreed-upon learning objectives.

Assessment includes planning documents, regular meetings with their academic mentor and industry sponsor, a final report presentation to peers, academic mentor and industry sponsor. The subject aims to: facilitate students’ self-analysis and reflective issues and problems; and apply theoretical knowledge in seeking solutions for practical workplace problems.
