Majors
Additional majors and/or minors
Students undertaking the Bachelor of International Hospitality Management may choose a second major either from those available within their degree (double major) or from the list of additional majors available from outside their degree. Minors are also available in these subjects. The availability of additional majors and minors will depend on timetabling and subject restrictions, and in some cases, choosing an additional major or minor may require students to undertake extra points to complete their degree.What the programme covers
This programme surveys the scope of hospitality before examining the concepts and processes critical to hospitality operations. This provides the foundation necessary for in-depth study of management principles and practices applied in a hospitality context. This focus gives graduates a competitive advantage in related career pathways.
Year 1
The papers studied in year one lay the foundation of hospitality concepts and systems essential for managing food and beverage services and accommodation properties. Fundamentals of information communication technology, managerial communication, accounting and finance systems and microeconomics, organisational behaviour and the interpersonal skills required in hospitality are also studied.
Year 2
The core paper examines human resource management in organisations in the hospitality industry. During this year there is the flexibility to select from one of six majors or to complete the generic BIHM programme. This selection of options allows students to sharpen the focus on hospitality through accommodation, event management, tourism, marketing, food and beverage or human resources. Students are also able to choose from electives to complement their choice of major or their generic pathway.
Year 3
The core papers analyse strategic management and the role of sales and marketing in hospitality. Year three also provides for advanced study in selected majors, and electives are chosen to balance the major or generic BIHM programme.
Co-operative Education (Brandt model)
Students are potentially provided with part-time work opportunities in selected hotels, catering companies, restaurants, and a bank throughout their three years study at AUT. Employers offer students the opportunity to be trained in as many departments of their organisations a student is capable to work in. While studying theoretical subjects our students experience what is taught in the classroom first hand in the workplace..
