Bachelor of Hospitality Management
Torrens University Australia, Multi-campus, national, Australia
About this program
Structured as 8 common business core subjects, 10 specialised hospitality subjects and 6 electives across 240 credit points, this degree keeps a genuine business core rather than treating hospitality as a purely vocational add-on. Students graduate able to speak the language of a hotel group's finance and marketing teams, not just its floor operations.
The defining feature is two separate Industry Practicum placements rather than one, totalling a minimum of 800 hours of industry placement concentrated in second year. That's a substantial chunk of the degree spent working in the field partway through rather than only at the end, which means students get a second placement to apply what the first one taught them before they graduate.
Torrens also runs a related Bachelor of Business (Hospitality and Tourism Management) with a slightly different subject mix (20 core, 4 electives) for students wanting a broader tourism focus rather than a hospitality-management-specific one; the two are commonly confused because of overlapping subject names.
