Why study Tourism
and Events at Flinders
“I created some of my fondest memories while at Flinders University. I met great people, travelled and loved spending time on campus. I was lucky enough to do two international trips as part of my studies – Vanuatu and China. I was incredibly lucky to be able to travel overseas for both placement and a research project.” — Anna Kerley
“The opportunity to travel to Malaysia as a part of the degree to conduct research for our Tourism Research topic. Being able to travel to another country, understand and see tourism in a real-world context and then conduct research in another country was incredible.” — Dylan Beach
“I have really valued the hands-on experience Flinders has offered. Events hosted by the College have also encouraged me to network with those in the industry – vital to career success!” — Celeste Ryan
“I loved getting to travel on our international study tour to Malaysia and going on exchange to Manchester. Both of these opportunities allowed me to gain international perspectives on our industry outside of the classroom.” — Georgia Cosercas
“One of my favourite experiences while studying at Flinders was placement. This was a great opportunity for me to apply skills learnt throughout my degree in a workplace setting. It was also an important step in building connections and networking within the industry. The course coordinator was familiar with my capabilities and interests and guided me towards the most suitable option for my placement. This was such a valuable opportunity and I was lucky enough to gain casual employment from my placement.” — Rebecca Uphill

My placement was a big stepping stone. I did my placement at Adelaide Zoo, and I loved it. I also volunteered for 6 weeks at the Visitor Information Centre in the city. It was great to get out and talk to tourists.
