About this program

The Master of Tourism Hospitality and Events Management at Victoria University is aimed at those looking to progress into leadership roles across tourism, hospitality, and event industries. Based in Melbourne, students explore aspects of tourism marketing, hospitality operations, service management, event design and delivery, and business strategy. Studies often reference Australian and global case studies, helping students understand both domestic and international industry perspectives.

This two-year degree is organised into units of study that together total the credit points required for qualification. Subjects are drawn from a mix of core and elective options, encouraging students to tailor their studies to their interests. The course structure may include a capstone project or internship, connecting classroom learning with experience in real workplace settings—Melbourne's diverse tourism and events sector makes this especially relevant.

Students build skills in areas such as project management, financial management, digital marketing, and customer service—all highly valued in Australian hospitality and tourism. Group projects and industry engagement develop teamwork and leadership abilities. The degree suits those planning to move into operational or management roles or launch careers across tourism, hospitality, and events in Australia or overseas.

International students benefit from the right to work up to 48 hours per fortnight during studies, and may be eligible for post-study work rights through the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) upon completion. It's best to confirm placement opportunities, professional recognition, and course structure on the official Victoria University course page.
