invaluable insights into Australian workplace culture.

context and which areas of management are most critical in hospitality. Graduates are also equipped
with transferrable business, communication, team-working and research skills which are applicable to
a broad range of professional scenarios.

theoretical concepts to a range of practical situations, thus developing an understanding of managerial
