Transform your future
Tourism is a pillar of the Australian economy and Southern Cross University’s campuses are located in the country’s most vibrant tourism regions. We are proud to be the first University in Australia to offer studies in tourism.
You can study from the University's Hotel School campuses in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, all ideally located for study and internships with 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. It means you will be well-prepared for the demands of this dynamic sector once you graduate. With professional networks already in place, you are on the way for career success.

“I love working with people, hearing their stories, engaging with guests and creating magical experiences for them. And I thought if I’m going to work in a hotel I want to fully immerse myself and study Hotel Management.”
