You'll benefit from UQ's extensive network of industry leaders, many of whom deliver guest lectures and share their perspectives and knowledge, and you'll have the opportunity to establish contacts for the future.

Your study also offers a range of invaluable Work Integrated Learning (WIL) opportunities designed to help you bridge the gap between theory and practice and gain industry experience with tourism and event site visits, the investigation of case studies, and problem-based learning activities.

Sustainability and niche tourism has always appealed to me, so when an opportunity to pursue this at UQ, I jumped. 2 years later, I’m living my best life in Australia, getting closer to my dream career and of course, exploring the Great Barrier Reef little by little every chance I have.
