If you have a background in tourism, or have completed previous study in the field, then this course provides you with the opportunity to pursue research at a master’s degree level in your area of specialisation. On top of a selection of coursework units, you will undertake training in research methods, and will develop a research proposal and thesis in your chosen area of tourism studies.

You can tailor your research to suit your previous background in the industry or your future area of employment interest, and topics you might like to explore can include alpine tourism; Australasian tourism studies; convention, events and meetings management; cultural and heritage tourism; urban and regional tourism development; nature-based tourism; tourism impact analysis; and tourism crisis and disaster management; among others. As a Higher Degree by Research (HDR), this course is covered under the Australian Government's Research Training Program (RTP) funding model, which provides a fee offset for domestic students for the standard duration of the course.
