Bachelor of Cultural Tourism
(BCulT)
Program of study
Honours degree
INTRODUCTION
The Bachelor of Cultural Tourism requires three years of full-time study (or the equivalent part-time) and the honours program an additional year (or the equivalent part-time). The course is offered by the Faculty of Education, Humanities, Law and Theology.
Enrolment in the honours program may be offered to a student who meets certain academic criteria and subject to the school/department being able to provide appropriate resources and staff to supervise the program of study.
COURSE AIMS
The course aims to develop analytical and practical skills needed by students in the area of cultural tourism to respond to growing market demand for high quality, sustainable tourism development and management.
Its objective is to promote a critical and theoretical understanding of tourism as a global phenomenon and apply that understanding to national, regional and local circumstances by examining a range of industry practices in their cultural contexts. This will involve contact with legal, archaeological, historical, anthropological, socio-cultural methodologies and disciplines as well as skills-orientated tourism business practices in the functioning of the tourism industry.
The course combines academic analysis of trends in worldwide tourism and its impact with practical contact with selected local, regional and national aspects of tourism. Cultural Tourism covers festival and event management; approaches and issues in cultural tourism development; policy and best practice in one of the fastest growing sectors of global tourism. Fieldwork and tourism industry practicums are essential components.
