About this course

The Associate Degree in Applied Business (Specialisation) is for aspiring future leaders and managers in one of four areas: Sport, Recreation and Leisure, Tourism and Events, Local Leadership and Supply Chain Management.

The Sport, Recreation and Leisure specialisation focuses on the management, planning and business of sport, recreation and leisure. Graduates will be able to apply knowledge of key business management concepts in practical environments such as sporting and recreation clubs, leisure centres and local government. This specialisation is ideal for those already working in the industry who wish to progress to management roles.

The Tourism and Events specialisation focuses on tourism and event organisation, their significance to governments, businesses and the community and the social, financial and cultural impacts of these crucial sectors of the Tasmanian economy. Students learn key business concepts in both traditional and rapidly evolving tourism and events markets while developing the skills to apply them in real world situations.

The Local Leadership specialisation is aimed at people with a strong community focus who are interested in acquiring the business skills necessary to manage the people and resources involved in the local delivery of services to the community. Students gain valuable skills and experience in areas such as good governance, compliance and regulation, managing volunteers, leisure planning and event management.

The Supply Chain Management specialisation is focused on preparing people employed within industry to manage the supply of goods and services from the point of origin to the end customer more efficiently. Students are exposed to all elements of the supply chain, including inventory planning, procurement, transportation, distribution and global logistics.
