Students are not only introduced to key business concepts, but also to the philosophical and theoretical underpinnings of the phenomenon of hospitality – this is what sets Otago's hospitality minor apart from other courses in hospitality.
The minor will appeal to students interested in the accommodation, events, and food and beverage sectors, or in running their own hospitality businesses in the future.
Students who are excellent communicators, good at multi-tasking and enjoy leading teams and projects will thrive in a career in hospitality.
Career opportunities can include, but are not limited to: Hotel management – sales and marketing, front office, reservations, revenue, event management – business and corporate events, exhibitions and convention events, private events such as weddings and celebrations, food and beverage management – sales, quality assurance, regional outlet management, online travel company roles – market development, pricing and revenue, marketing and sales.
Students engage in fun, hands-on and collaborative learning. The lecturers have extensive industry experience, blending theoretical research with practical industry knowledge, to prepare graduates to think critically while operating in a diverse and dynamic work environment.
There is no formal requirement to have studied a prerequisite. Students will benefit from a sound English background and exposure to topics such as geography and tourism at secondary school.
