Overview

This full-fee paying degree, offered at The Hotel School Sydney and The Hotel School Melbourne, focuses on hotel operational and management practices across hospitality industries and the skills needed for employment in a competitive and changing global business environment. The Hotel School is a partnership between Southern Cross University and Mulpha Australia, whose property portfolio includes the InterContinental Sydney, Hayman Island, InterContinental Sanctuary Cove Resort, Salzburg Apartments, Marritz Alpine and Bimbadgen Estate. 

Located in the heart of the Central Business District of their respective cities, The Hotel School Sydney and The Hotel School Melbourne are perfectly situated to embrace each city's hotel and hospitality industry.

A compulsory six-month professional hospitality internship is a key feature of the course enabling students to establish valuable industry experience, confidence and networks. 

All applicants for The Hotel Schools are selected on their individual merit. While recent academic performance or professional experience is used as an indicator of ability to undertake studies at a tertiary level, applicants will also be invited to an interview as part of the final application process.
