Master of Hotel Management

Since 2005 the Australian International Hotel School has offered a fully developed Masters program. The program is ideal for graduates with a degree in another discipline who have decided to make a career change to the global hospitality industry.

It also suits hospitality and tourism professionals already in the industry who are looking to take their professional qualifications to a new level.

The Master of Hotel Management is a postgraduate degree program combining:

• Rigorous theoretical management core studies including law, policy, property and facilities, operations and logistics, finance and promotion.
• A range of elective units including ethics, entrepreneurship, events management, revenue management, and sales and marketing.
• An internship of skills-training and practice under professional supervision as staff of the boutique Hotel Kurrajong onsite.
• 1x24 week block of paid industry practicum with employers in Australia and abroad including a workplace analysis research project.
