The Graduate Diploma consists of eight courses and builds on the Graduate Certificate in Tourism Management.

Courses in the Graduate Diploma program cover management, ecotourism, sustainable tourism, tourist behaviour and a tourism practicum. In addition, you are able to choose two courses in your area of interest such as marketing, accounting, international business and tourism development.
