"I love working with people, hearing their stories, engaging with guests and creating magical experiences for them. And I thought if I'm going to work in a hotel I want to fully immerse myself and study Hotel Management." Alan Chu Hotel Culturist, Capella, Sydney Default --> "During my Associate Degree, I completed two internships, including one at The Sebel Brisbane and another with The Walt Disney Company in Florida. These experiences allowed me to work across different departments, gain exposure to both corporate and leisure guests, and build memories and opportunities I never imagined without The Hotel School." Tabitha Yesberg Guest Experience Expert, Marriot Brisbane Understanding the Southern Cross Model The Southern Cross Model is a game-changer in higher education study. Our students now engage in shorter, six-week unit structures designed around immersive and interactive learning experiences. The shorter unit structure gives students a greater sense of momentum as they achieve milestones quickly, resulting in increased student success rates, and course and teacher satisfaction. Lectures are a thing of the past - students will be engaged in active, interactive and discussion-based learning. On-campus students experience a variety of teaching approaches including lectures, tutorials, online activities and video-linked or podcast virtual classes. Our online study option is highly interactive and may include a combination of podcast or video-linked lectures, electronic study materials, workshops, online discussion forums and virtual classes. The method of teaching and assessment may vary from unit to unit.
