Bachelor of Arts in International Studies / Bachelor of Tourism Management (825AA)
Faculty of Arts and Design, and Faculty of Business and Government
One of the University of Canberra's key strategic priorities is internationalisation. One of the best ways to achieve this is to maximise the possibility of students taking a combined degree with International Studies. The combination of tourism and international studies provides students with the skills and knowledge to undertake a career in tourism, the worlds fastest growing industry together with the opportunity to attain intercultural understandings and develop conceptual knowledge of international issues.
This double degree will equip students with specific conceptual and practical skills required at middle and senior levels of the tourism industry and government tourism administration. The specific tourism management themes that run throughout the program are sustainable tourism development; culture and heritage tourism, strategic tourism management, marketing and planning; Pacific Rim tourism; visitor service management; and event management. In addition, the International Studies component will equip students with foreign language skills and an enhanced ability to function at an international level. Students will explore the interplay of cultural, political and economic forces in the global arena. A highly recommended international exchange semester provides first-hand international experience.
