Hands on experience while you study, paid internships

Our students begin working in the industry under the supervision of highly skilled professionals before they even graduate. Both of our undergraduate programs include two compulsory periods of paid industry practicum (also known as placements or externships) with employers in Australia or abroad.

Our students have completed their Industry Placement in a variety of exciting locations including:

• Sheraton Park Tower London, England
• Hotel Intercontinental Geneva, Switzerland
• Newport Bay Club Disneyland, Paris, France

Limitless employment opportunities in the hospitality industry

Our Career Development department has active relationships with hotels, resorts and other tourism employees in industry through the alumni network worldwide. Placement opportunities include three, four and five-star hotels and resorts, boutique properties and high-profile tourism developments.

Right job, right fit

The Career Development staff are dedicated to helping students become workplace ready. They assess the suitability and ability of each student and match them to particular positions and employers. In order to fulfil the program’s requirements students must apply for, and accept, one of these recommended positions in Australia or abroad. Students must meet the selection criteria and pass a job interview with each employer.

Ongoing guidance and support

Career Development staff visit with students during their places to check on their progress, provide pastoral care and advice and consult with their supervision.
