Graduate Certificate of International Sustainable Tourism Management
Monash University, Melbourne, VIC, Australia
About this program
Monash's Graduate Certificate of International Sustainable Tourism Management gives students without a tourism background, as well as emerging tourism professionals, a fast introduction to the global tourism industry through a sustainability lens. Across four units, students analyse the global tourism sector and build critical thinking, writing and presentation skills specifically suited to multicultural professional settings, reflecting how international the tourism industry actually is. It suits people moving into tourism, hospitality or destination management roles who want formal grounding in sustainable tourism principles before committing to further study, as well as those testing the field before enrolling in the full Master of International Sustainable Tourism Management. As a short, four-unit certificate, it works best as an entry point into the sector or a foundation for further postgraduate tourism study rather than a complete professional qualification for someone already deep into a tourism management career.
