If you love the idea of working overseas or as part of our Australian tourism landscape, a degree in Tourism and Events could take you anywhere. This unique major gives you the opportunity to study tourism with a focus on sustainability. You’ll explore policy issues relating to tourism and events, and the planning and management of sustainably coordinated events and festivals.

She will teach you how to plan for and manage tourism initiatives for sustainable outcomes. Combine your degree with a range of minors or study two majors in 3 years and graduate with several specialisations, further enhancing your career prospects. As part of your studies, you’ll take field trips to tourism destinations, and learn to think critically and creatively, apply knowledge and information, and communicate effectively.
