The programme runs for three years, with an optional sandwich year of extended workplace training between the second and final years.
Year One introduces students to the hospitality and tourism industry, covering foundation management skills. A 10-week Work-integrated Education placement at the year's end allows them to gain hands-on experience in a hotel, tourism, food-service or related organisation.
In Year Two, the focus is on learning from case studies and applying knowledge to new situations. At the end of the year students can choose another 10-week Work-Integrated Education placement, or a 48-week placement.
Year Three focuses on group assignments and individual projects, allowing students to further develop their management skills and build on their operational experience.
