Other information

Leisure is one of the principal social and economic features of life. The Australian leisure industries – in the commercial, public, and nonprofit sectors – provide facilities and services, as well as manage resources to accommodate the increasing leisure demands of a growing population. As the leisure industries continue to enhance their already significant contribution to the Australian and international societies and economies, managers within the industry require a broader understanding of the leisure phenomenon and a wide variety of skills to ensure the satisfactory provision of facilities and services for their clients.

The Leisure Management program develops knowledge and professional management skills relevant to the organisation, planning, marketing and provision of leisure services. Vocational, conceptual and research skills are developed in an educational climate that fosters intellectual and professional inquiry. Students gain a theoretical and practical understanding of leisure in both the Australian and international context. Involvement with leisure industry practitioners is a significant feature of all the courses.

Course aims

The Graduate Certificate offers an introduction to management in the leisure industries. Subjects in the Graduate Certificate can be completed in intensive mode.

The Graduate Diploma extends the student's knowledge and management skills and offers the opportunity for specialisation in an area of interest.

The Master of Management offers the opportunity for further specialisation through the choice of electives and the conduct of an investigatory project.
