Tourism and hospitality
What’s on offer for postgraduates?
Tourism and hospitality is quite a new field of study in higher education and it is newer still at the postgraduate level. There are 750 or so postgraduate students in this field enrolled across the country, most doing graduate diplomas and certificates.
Hospitality and tourism are, of course, among the big long-term growth industries in Australia, but the current demand for graduates seems to be limited.
