A revised program structure for the Bachelor of International Hotel and Tourism Management commenced in 2021 as a result of a program review.
In addition to the structural changes, from 2021, the program name will change to the Bachelor of Tourism, Hospitality and Event Management (BTHEM).
What does this mean for you?
As a current student, you have the option to stay in the Bachelor of International, Hotel and Tourism Management program and continue to follow your current (pre-2021) program requirements (BIHTM), OR transfer to the new Bachelor of Tourism, Hospitality and Event Management (BTHEM) program and requirements to complete your study.
If you decide to change program, including to a BTHEM dual program, you will be required to follow the 2021 requirements.
Please be aware that if you are a Commonwealth Supported student changing program, Federal Government legislative changes may impact your fees. Refer to my.UQ for information.
Please read the information below carefully and consider the option that is best for you. If you decide you would like to change to the 2021 program and requirements, you will need to submit a program change request on mySI-net by 12 February 2021 (program change requests will open 4 December 2020).
The table below provides a basic summary of the changes. For a comprehensive comparison you need to review the requirements and course lists on Programs and Courses – see further information below under ‘What you need to do’.

In making a decision about which program requirements to follow, you need to consider the courses you have already completed, the major you wish to complete, as well as the courses you will be required to complete. If you change to the 2021 program and requirements, course credit will only be given where it fits within the new requirements.
Please note:
New/additional courses will be rolled out progressively over the coming years i.e. new core courses will be offered in 2021, but new major courses will not be offered for the first time until 2022, with some not being offered until 2023.
If you are intending to graduate in 2021, you will need to remain under your current (pre-2021) program and requirements.
If you wish to complete the Event Management, Hospitality Management and/or Tourism Management majors, you will need to remain under your current (pre-2021) program and requirements.
If you decide to change to the 2021 program and requirements to complete the Hotel and Hospitality Management major, your graduation will most likely be delayed until the end of 2022.
If you decide to change to the 2021 program and requirements to complete the Tourism and Event Management major, your graduation will most likely be delayed until the end of 2023.
