Graduate Certificate or Diploma of Hospitality Management overview

Graduate certificates are ideal for students who desire a succinct insight into hospitality management. Institutions like James Cook University strive to teach international tourism, operations management and moreover the course of a six month full-time study period. A bachelor degree in any discipline is the only requirement for entry.

Employment options

This qualification can be used to enter the employment options mentioned here, but its lack of scope could be a limitation, making it better suited for entry into a master degree. There’s still much to be utilised from this program, however; units in international tourism make careers in tour management a better prospect. Operations management is useful to all facets of hospitality.

Scholarships and funding

Specific scholarship opportunities are rare in this field and even more so for graduate certificates, but general opportunities are always available. These include:

The Endeavour Scholarships and Fellows initiative for graduates from this program to undergo a subsequent master degree
The EU 2020 Horizon Scholarship, which allows Curtin University students to study in Europe
The Gallipoli Scholarship Fund, requiring students to have an ancestor that fought in WWI

These general opportunities can come and go fairly quickly, even these examples, so students are well-advised to regularly check our full current selection here on PostgradAustralia.

Prerequisites and selection process

These programs tend not to be strict with selection, only requiring a bachelor degree in any field to enter. Some institutions will require a credit GPA (65%), but most don’t hold this requirement. Students are unlikely to encounter the need for relevant undergraduate study in these programs, as they are designed with no assumed base knowledge.
