Bachelor of International Hotel and Tourism Management
I chose to study at the UQ School of Tourism because of their outstanding reputation. As part of the professional development course, I was given the opportunity to immerse myself in the regional Australian culture - it was an experience I will never forget. My studies with the School of Tourism have helped me gain a broader understanding of the tourism and hospitality industries, and I now have the skills to apply business practices to these industries.
