The Bachelor of Hotel Management aims to prepare graduates for employment in hotel and tourism management positions in New Zealand and internationally. It is a three year, full-time degree which includes specialised study in the core management areas as well as other specialised topics and electives. The final semester incorporates an internship in industry where theory and practice come together in the workplace.

Graduates of the Bachelor of Hotel Management will be well suited for employment in a supervisory or management capacity within the accommodation, hospitality and tourism related sectors, including hotels, resorts, restaurants, events and convention centres, as well as their own small business. Graduates can identify and explain a range of issues relating to tourists, and facets of hospitality and tourism and their systems and industries, and how they interlink. They can use their knowledge to evaluate operational matters, and implement processes across a range of specialist areas including finance, sales, marketing, human resources, and food and beverage services.
