Thailand and Hong Kong exchange for tourism students

Bachelor of Tourism, Hospitality and Event Management (BTHEM) exchange opportunity to Thailand and Hong Kong

Commencing in the second half of 2025, you can study overseas at two of our premier partner institutions in Hong Kong and Thailand, gain credit transfer, and have the time of your life by broadening your degree experience and gaining a new perspective on your studies and future employment opportunities.
