School of Tourism and Hospitality Management

Tourism is the largest single industry in the world, contributing around 10% of the GDP in many countries. It is a major source of employment and important earner of foreign exchange. This rapidly growing industry is short of qualified and experienced staff and a degree gained at GAU – American University –Canterbury can open the door to a wide ranging career growing opportunities and management positions. Our curriculum follows a well-tested American format, which incorporates both general management – and specialised tourism and hospitality – courses.

Students are required to undertake supervised practical experience (internship) within the industry. Recognising the international nature of tourism, students are required to study one foreign language in addition to English. While tourism is in the forefront of employing technology to improve efficiency and service to the customer, it remains an industry in which the importance of inter-personal skills has not diminished. If you like people and wish to follow a varied, exciting career, Tourism is an excellent field to study.
