Bachelor of Hospitality Management

The Bachelor of Hospitality Management at Box Hill covers accounting, marketing, business and hospitality law, workplace communications, strategic project management, and human resources management: a management-focused degree built for people planning to run hospitality operations rather than work the front line of them, though Box Hill's parallel commercial cookery and hospitality certificate programs mean many students arrive with genuine kitchen or floor experience already.

Small class sizes and direct lecturer contact are emphasised more than at a typical large university business school, consistent with Box Hill's TAFE-scale delivery model even at bachelor's level. A work-based hospitality management project gives students a real venue or business problem to solve rather than a hypothetical case study, drawing on Box Hill's existing industry relationships across Melbourne's hospitality sector.

Career paths include hotel and venue management, event management, hospitality operations, and food and beverage management, with the strategic project management and contemporary issues coursework aimed at people expected to run a shift, a venue, or eventually a business rather than simply staff one.
