Overview

The Bachelor of Management in Tourism and Hospitality is a pathway program developed in conjunction with TAFE NSW. The UTS component of the course seeks to build on the vocational skills and knowledge acquired by students in the hospitality management courses offered by TAFE NSW. The course broadens students' understanding of the role played by the hospitality sector in the tourism product. In particular, it highlights the tourism-related environmental factors that influence and are affected by hospitality operations. Further, it explores the collaborative linkages and networks that are an integral part of the tourism industry and which need to be managed so that a hospitality organisation achieves its stated objectives. Finally, strategies to ensure the sustainability of a destination's tourism product and marketing/management effort are highlighted.

Admission requirements

The general admission requirement is the successful completion of the Diploma in Hospitality (Management) from TAFE NSW at Credit level or higher. Overseas full-fee-paying students are admitted through the International Office at UTS provided they also meet the English language requirements that are applicable for entry into all UTS courses. HECS applicants are assessed as non-current school leaver students through the normal UAC procedures.

Course duration

The course is one-and-a-half years, full-time at UTS, following completion of the Diploma in Hospitality (Management) from TAFE NSW prior to entry.

Course structure

Students from the Diploma in Hospitality (Management) receive a block exemption of 72credit points for their hospitality studies. Completion of a further 72 credit points, 12subjects from the existing Bachelor of Management in Tourism, leads to the award. It should be noted that students will not receive exemption from the first half of the Bachelor of Management in Tourism. Rather the TAFE component in hospitality management forms the first half of what is in effect a combined award. The subjects and their sequence for the UTS component are outlined below.

Transition arrangements

Students who commenced this program prior to 2003 are required to complete the program as set in the 2002 handbook for the Faculty of Business. Where a pre-2003 subject has been modified or the name of the subject has changed, students are required to complete the new or modified subject. Existing students are not permitted to transfer to the new degree. Students who had not completed the first year of the program by the end of 2002 due to approved leave of absence or reduced load, may, at the discretion of the Undergraduate Course Director, be allowed to complete under the revised structure commencing Autumn semester 2003.
