Bachelor of International Tourism and Hotel Management
Griffith University
Course Overview
Griffith University's Bachelor of International Tourism and Hotel Management is delivered by the Griffith Institute for Tourism — ranked No. 1 in Australia and among the world's top 10 for hospitality and tourism in the QS subject rankings. The three-year degree blends hotel operations, tourism management, events, marketing, finance, and sustainable destination management, with an embedded industry placement and pathways into luxury hotel groups. Griffith's Gold Coast campus sits in one of Australia's premier tourism regions, surrounded by international hotel brands and major event venues.
Sri Lankan A-Level / IB applicants — including those from tourism-focused families or with hotel-school interest — choose Griffith because tourism is central to Sri Lanka's economy and an internationally recognised hospitality degree opens global hotel careers. An English-medium school qualification typically supports an IELTS waiver via an MOI letter. Graduates qualify for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485), with placement into Australian and global hotel groups. Returnees are highly sought by Sri Lanka's hospitality sector — Aitken Spence Hotels, John Keells (Cinnamon Hotels), Jetwing, Heritance, Shangri-La Colombo, and the major DMC and travel operators — for management-track roles.
