Once again, the Bachelor of Tourism Management (BTM) was featured prominently at Victoria University of Wellington’s Study @ Victoria Day, the university’s annual "open house" event.

Our new BTM director, Dr Julia Albrecht, spoke to about 90 prospective students about the degree. Julia and Dr Adam Weaver were part of the School of Management team that staffed the information table throughout the day.

Also promoting the BTM were Luisa Acheson who provided excellent support in the lead-up and on the day, along with second-year students Jessica Swan and Pasang Sherpa who did a great job talking about their experiences to prospective students.

The whole event, and notably Jessica & Pasang as student speakers, had excellent feedback in a follow-up questionnaire about the usefulness of the event in the eyes of prospective students.

Many thanks to Luisa, Jess and Pasang for their outstanding contributions to Study @ Victoria Day!

For those interested in studying for a BTM at Victoria, please contact the director of the Bachelor of Tourism Management,
Dr Julia Albrecht.

The online application system for Victoria is now open for those wishing to study in 2015. 

The application deadline is 10 January 2015.
