The Bachelor of Tourism provides studies in the essential business disciplines related to the tourism industry. The study of tourism includes behaviour and motivations of tourists, the businesses which service the tourists and the economic, social and environmental impacts of tourism. Skills developed are primarily in management, marketing and general business studies and include critical thinking, research, analysis and communication.
Students
must complete a major in tourism.
Other studies may be drawn from any of the disciplines taught on the Berwick
campus by the Faculty of Business and Economics. These other studies can, in
some cases, form a second major in a business discipline.
Some open electives may also be taken from other campuses or other Monash
faculties.
