What you can expect to study

The program structure is outlined in our handbook . Here you can view all of the subjects you will be studying.

This major combines social science, business and public relation subjects to provide students with the knowledge and skills required to organise and manage festivals and events. Students will learn about the social and cultural significance of festivals and events, and the roles and responsibilities of a variety of stakeholders. The major also explores the important role festivals and events play in tourism and visitor economies. Students who choose to complete the Visitor Economy Professional Placement subject will complete a work placement with a festival/event organiser, providing a stepping-stone to employment.

In a highly mobile world (migration, tourism, media and communications, travel and transport) and in contemporary life where the preservation of historical and natural environments present as one of the major challenges facing all societies, heritage has become a touchstone for social and cultural identity, our understanding of modernity, peace and development, our senses of citizenship, custodianship and community. At the same time heritage places have become significant tourist destinations and so in a world of flows and networks, the heritage-tourism relationship is a critical one. In the 21st century it is impossible to disentangle the two. This major introduces contemporary heritage issues and provides an in-depth understanding of tourism as a social phenomenon. It enables a critical examination of the relationship between heritage and tourism in number of settings within Australia (including Indigenous Australia) and internationally.

This unique major combines subjects from tourism, heritage and planning to prepare students for careers in place management. Place managers use collaborative approaches to design and develop a wide diversity of spaces and places, including precincts, destinations, towns, cities, parks, and many more. In this major, students will develop the skills and knowledge to manage places sustainably in a variety of contexts. This includes the ability to balance competing community, cultural, ecological and economic interests. Students who complete the major will be well positioned to apply for a growing number of place management positions with government and consultancies.

This major brings together sport, event and tourism management subjects to provide students with the knowledge and skills required to organise and manage sport and recreation events. Students will also learn about the social and cultural significance of sport, tourism and sporting events, and their unique role in the visitor economy.

This major combines subjects from the social and environmental sciences to prepare students for careers that ensure tourism, leisure and recreation activities take place in a sustainable way. The natural environment is a key component of leisure, recreation, and tourism experiences, especially in Australia. However, these activities can have significant ecological impacts. In this major, students will learn how to identify, assess, and manage these environmental impacts. The major will also look at how the visitor economy can contribute toward ecological conservation, and addressing major global issues such as climate change, deforestation, poverty, inequality and pollution.

In a highly mobile world (migration, tourism, media and communications, travel and transport) and in contemporary life where the preservation of historical and natural environments present as one of the major challenges facing all societies, heritage has become a touchstone for social and cultural identity, our understanding of modernity, peace and development, our senses of citizenship, custodianship and community. At the same time heritage places have become significant tourist destinations and so in a world of flows and networks, the heritage-tourism relationship is a critical one. In the 21st century it is impossible to disentangle the two. This minor introduces contemporary heritage issues and provides an in-depth understanding of tourism as a social phenomenon. It enables a critical examination of the relationship between heritage and tourism in number of settings within Australia (including Indigenous Australia) and internationally.

This minor provides students with knowledge and skills to work in professional roles in the tourism, heritage and visitor economy sectors. There is a particularly strong focus on sustainable and innovative approaches to travel and tourism. Students will have the opportunity to complete field trips, work on applied projects and learn directly from industry and government experts. The minor also provides a pathway to the Master of Sustainable Tourism and Heritage, allowing students to complete the master program in one additional year of study.

The marketing minor provides students with a grounding in the practice of marketing and its application to any type of organisation. In this minor, students can extend that knowledge into more specialised aspects or marketing such as brand and product development, promotion, strategic marketing and marketing analytics. Students gain communications and analytic skills in assessing and developing key elements of a marketing strategy. There are practical industry-related activities helping students compile a business portfolio for presentation to potential employers.

This Business Studies minor provides students with a strong foundation of business knowledge in key areas of management, consumer marketing, human resource management and microeconomics.  Students complete practical industry-related activities which develop communication, cultural and analytic skills required to be innovative and responsible team-members and leaders. The Business Minor provides knowledge of the more people-oriented subjects in business.  As such it would complement non-business students from humanities, social sciences and psychology programs. 

 This minor is about managing international business operations and the role of a range of factors including internationalisation, globalisation, and the power of institutions that can influence these operations. Students learn about the wider and changing context of business operations involving political, legal, economics that influence management practice on a global scale.

Indicative annual fee

A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Commonwealth and applicable only to Domestic students. This means that the Australian Government pays part of your fees towards your program, therefore reducing your program fees, and the remaining amount is paid by you, this is considered your Student Contribution.

The fee estimates provided are indicative only and subject to change. These estimates are based on the current fee structures for a normal full time study load. However, the final fees may vary depending on several factors, including the specific subjects chosen, the duration and timing of study, and annual fee adjustments (subject to Commonwealth student contribution band rates). Please note that these estimates do not include the Student Services and Amenities Fee. We encourage all prospective and current students to consult with our  Student Services Hub  for the most current fee information.

As a multi-campus institution, Western Sydney University and its entities reserves the right to alter the location of its programs between campuses and other locations as necessary.

To work out how much your Student Contribution will be before you study, you will first need to find out the Student Contribution band your subjects fit into based on their general discipline area. You can then calculate your student contributions to work out the total amount of your contribution.

The Higher Education Loan Program (HELP) is a range of loans introduced by the Australian Government from 2005 to provide fee payment assistance to eligible students. Loans are for Australian citizens studying in Australia or overseas. Permanent residents who hold a humanitarian visa are also eligible if studying in Australia. If eligible you may be able to defer all or part of your Student Contribution through the HECS-HELP loan program. You may also be eligible for OS-HELP if undertaking studies overseas. New Zealand citizens and holders of an Australian permanent resident visa (other than an Australian permanent humanitarian visa) are generally not entitled to HECS-HELP assistance. If you are a New Zealand citizen or permanent resident your Student Contribution amount must be paid in full by the census date. However, the Australian Government has passed new legislation that changes the way some New Zealand citizens, who hold a Special Category Visa (SCV), studying in Australia will pay their fees. More information is available on the Changes to fees for New Zealand Citizens webpage.

Ranuri Dodangoda - Bachelor of Tourism and Hospitality Management

AAPoly was the launchpad for my journey to success. The BTHM program offered more than textbooks and lectures—it provided a robust support system that fostered my personal and professional growth. A memorable moment was a one-on-one chat with Dr. Sunny Vinnakota during my first week in Australia, which set a positive tone for my college experience. The hands-on approach at AAPoly and engaging extracurricular activities, such as hotel visits and symposiums, were invaluable. Mr. Peng Ho's lively economics class transformed my dread into enthusiasm, shaping my teaching style. Winning the Eagles award for exceptional grades validated my hard work. AAPoly equipped me with the skills, confidence, and network to chase my dreams.

Australian welders exposed to high levels of dangerous fumes and cancer risk

At least 46,000 Australian welders are exposed to high levels of dangerous, potentially cancer-causing fumes at work and there are not enough workplace safety measures to protect them, new research co-published by the University of Sydney has found.

The research team from Curtin School of Population Health and the University of Sydney surveyed

634 workers and employers involved in welding in Australia, and asked participants about work tasks, their working environment, and safety measures implemented in their workplace. 

The survey revealed the majority (91 percent) of welders are exposed to ‘welding fume’, a mixture of very fine particles and gases produced when a metal is heated above its boiling point.  Welding fume is a known carcinogen in humans.

The Australian-first study was published today in the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health and funded through the NSW government’s Centre for Work Health and Safety. 

 The researchers say that exposure  meant it was highly likely other carcinogenic metals were also often present. Most commonly, more than three-quarters of working environments involving welding are exposed to hexavalent chromium, a common contaminant that arises during welding, while almost half are exposed to stainless steel and nickel.

Study co-author Professor Tim Driscoll from the University of Sydney said the exposure risk was exacerbated by the conditions in which most welders worked. Two-thirds of respondents said they welded in restricted spaces and, more concerningly, nearly half said they worked in confined spaces. Most (86.3 percent) also reported leaning over the welding area while working, often putting their breathing zone directly above the fume source.

“Despite this, only 19 percent of study participants said their workplace had some form of mechanical ventilation, such as a welding booth or exhaust hoods,” said Professor Driscoll.

“Given that many Australian workplaces are apparently without effective ventilation, it is even more concerning that nearly two-thirds of workers in non-ventilated areas reported they do not use an air-supplied welding helmet.” Study lead Dr Renee Carey   from Curtin University who was previously involved in a landmark study outlining the dangers of working with engineered stone , said this new research showed many welders in Australia could be at risk of developing serious health problems. 

“Data shows at least 60,000 people are employed as welders, however the number of people who complete welding tasks as part of their job would be far higher,” Dr Carey said.

“Welding fume exposure has been associated with various adverse health effects, including cancer, respiratory disease, neurological disorders and reproductive effects.”

Public Health Association Chief Executive Terry Slevin said the study revealed serious health risks which must be reduced.

“We have seen strong action to reduce the health problems linked to asbestos and silica; this is another example where Australia’s health and safety legislation must be put to work to protect our tens of thousands of welders,” Adjunct Professor Slevin said.

“This study demands every professional welder in Australia be supplied with upgraded protective equipment to make their work as safe as humanly possible.

“We have the technology _ now we need to ensure it is mandatory to use it in our workplaces.”

An upcoming study will examine more precise levels of exposure to welding fume and the use of control measures in workplaces. This will be the subject of a forthcoming report.

Australian hurdler Michelle Jenneke will be rocking a new title with pride at the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, Jenneke – who became a viral sensation years ago with her pre-race “jiggling” routine — revealed she has been named one of the four captains of the Australian Athletics Team for the summer games.

“Honored to be selected as a team captain for our Aussie Olympic Athletics Team along side these legends! Let’s Go!!!” the 31-year-old exclaimed in the caption.

Sharing the captaincy with Jenneke is distance runner Linden Hall, race walker Rhydian Cowley and Daniel Golubovic, who specializes in the decathlon.

The foursome received the captain nods following votes from peers based on leadership, experience, the environment curated and “adaptability at major championships,” according to Athletics Australia .

“Some of my favorite moments from the Olympic Games that I have been to was from sitting in the crowd and supporting my teammates and cheering them on. As much as I care about my performance, I really do care about the performance of the rest of the team, and I want to encourage the idea of the fact that we are a team over here and supporting one another can make all the difference,” Jenneke said.

The Paris Games, which begin Friday, mark Jenneke’s second Olympics.

The 100m hurdler is looking to overcome a disappointing showing at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, where she placed 37th and had her funding from Athletics Australia cease .

Despite past pitfalls, the University of Sydney alum — who shot to fame after footage of her warm-up dance from the 2012 World Junior Championships captivated the internet — wants to ensure that all athletes, including herself, make the most of this Olympics experience.

“I just want everyone to have the time of their lives. There is nothing quite like going to an Olympic Games and I want them all to have the best time,” she said, per Athletics Australia .

The first round of the women’s 100m hurdles begins on Aug. 7 with the final slated for Aug. 10.
