Australia is one of the three most popular study destinations in the world for English-speaking international students. It offers an environment where the standard of living is among the highest in the world, yet with living and tuition expenses that are considerably lower than those of the USA and UK, and is home to people who are warm, friendly and out-going. Australia offers a multicultural society that welcomes international students from all backgrounds. Our lecturers have considerable experience in teaching classes with students from around the world. At HTA, you can make life-long friendships and develop international networks with students from every corner of the globe. HTA’s philosophy is to encourage students to think independently and to be innovative and creative in their approach to studies. This philosophy helps to promote a distinctive culture that produces confident, ambitious graduates equipped to take on exciting new careers in the global market. WHERE ELSE BUT QUEENSLAND? If you’re looking to study and pursue a career in tourism and hospitality, you could not pick a safer or better location than Queensland. Australia’s ‘Sunshine State’ is recognised as one of Asia-Pacific’s most popular tourist meccas and is one of Australia’s fastest growing and most vital economies. The hospitality industry is booming around the world and Queensland is helping lead the way with world class hospitality and tourism destinations. With exotic island resorts, world class hotels and theme parks; stylish restaurants and cafes and international sporting and cultural events that are the envy of many, where better than Queensland to receive world class training that will start you on the pathway of a career in tourism and hospitality. And the opportunities to gain employment in Queensland and worldwide are boundless with a vast array of career opportunities waiting to be filled by our students both during and after study. 4 BRISBANE – A SOPHISTICATED SUB-TROPICAL PARADISE The often repeated saying about Brisbane’s weather ‘beautiful one day, perfect the next’ is just one of this sophisticated and modern international city’s obvious lifestyle benefits. A place of festivals, events and a co-mingling of cultures, Brisbane is an ideal environment in which to live and learn. Less than an hour’s drive away you have the sparkling beaches of the Gold and Sunshine Coasts and within the city’s environs world-class sporting arenas, parks, gardens, entertainment venues and hundreds of different activities and events to exhaust even the most active of people. Getting around Brisbane is safe and easy too with ready access to public buses, trains and ferries that offer generous discounted student fares. With its network of bike and walking tracks crisscrossing the city and river, it’s no wonder Brisbane was recently voted by the Economist Intelligence Unit Survey as one of the world’s Top 8 cities to live in, making it the perfect place to study for a career in hospitality. A HOME AWAY FROM HOME Living away from home in another country can be quite a daunting prospect. That’s why, in addition to student housing and rental accommodation, HTA has access to a range of excellent homestay placements, close to the college, with friendly, caring families. These homes are recommended by BECAB Homestay Management and usually include a private room with study desk, a shared bathroom, clean linen and towels, breakfast and an evening meal Monday to Friday and all meals on weekends. Student housing is also available. This can take the form of apartment blocks or houses dedicated to students and usually includes a fully furnished unit with utilities and telephone connections, some with internet capabilities. Some students also opt to live independently in rental accommodation. Rents in Brisbane vary depending on the location, size and facilities available. It is not uncommon for a group of students to share rental accommodation to reduce their living expenses and overheads like gas and electricity. However, compared to Melbourne and Sydney, Brisbane offers a much cheaper student destination without compromising lifestyle. 5 open up a world of career opportunities “ Studying at HTA has opened doors for me all over the world.” Matthias Lohmann Certificate III in Commercial Cookery and Diploma of Hospitality Management course listings Tourism and Hospitality is a diverse industry that offers careers in a range of different environments and occupations.
