Pursue an exciting career and tackle global challenges through responsible tourism

Thanks to a unique partnership between Southern Cross University and global hotel investment group Mulpha Australia, our students can study a range of undergraduate or postgraduate courses in tourism and hotel management at four The Hotel School campuses and online.

The Hotel School boasts campuses in the centres of Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane and on Hayman Island, and is perfectly located not only for study but also for internships in leading leisure and hospitality businesses. Practical training in hotels and tourism structures with mentorship from experienced management professionals forms a fundamental part of our courses. This means you will be well-prepared for the demands of this dynamic sector once you graduate, with professional networks already in place – a key factor for career success.
