Study Hospitality & Tourism in Australia

Programs: 35
Universities: 12
Tuition from: A$18,500

Hospitality management, tourism, and events are taught at specialist institutions like William Angliss, Blue Mountains International Hotel Management School, and ICMS, as well as several universities. Programs are practical, with substantial paid or unpaid industry placement.

Entry bars are lower than for most fields, and fees are among the cheapest, often in the low to mid AUD 20,000s. IELTS 6.0 to 6.5 is typical.

Migration angle. Some management roles (cafe or restaurant manager, hotel manager) appear on regional occupation lists, but hospitality is generally a weaker migration pathway than technical fields.

Typical entry requirements

Entry to a bachelor degree needs a completed senior secondary qualification (or a recognised foundation year) that meets the university's minimum, plus an English test, usually IELTS 6.0 to 6.5 (PTE Academic 50 to 58). Entry to a postgraduate coursework degree needs a relevant bachelor degree, often with a credit average, and IELTS 6.5 (PTE 58). Registration-based fields (nursing, teaching, psychology, architecture) set higher English bars and additional requirements. Always confirm the exact requirements for the specific program.

Hospitality & Tourism in Australia: common questions

Is hospitality management a pathway to PR in Australia?

Weakly. A few management occupations are on regional lists, and studying in a regional area helps, but it is less reliable than nursing, engineering, or accounting.
