The Bachelor of Arts (BA) majoring in Tourism, Languages and Cultures is a three-year degree for those who wish to work in the field of tourism in New Zealand or overseas. Knowing the language and culture of another country is invaluable when communicating with people from that country. The global tourism industry is seeking graduates who have multilingual skills and intercultural competencies. This qualification cements the critical and creative attributes typical of Humanities graduates with the cross-cultural agility afforded specifically by BAs in Languages and Cultures.
The University of Otago is the only New Zealand university to offer a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree combination of this nature, in which students can combine their study of tourism and a specific language and culture of a country in one degree.
This major subject provides you with a unique opportunity to gain cross-cultural perspectives while also acquiring a solid grounding in tourism management.
In addition:
- The tourism industry is an exciting sector to work in.
- Employers in this industry are looking for multilingual employees with a good knowledge of the tourism industry.
- Employment opportunities are extremely broad, whether in New Zealand or overseas.
- The New Zealand tourism industry is predicting that larger numbers of additional workers will be required in the future (NZIER predict an additional 36,000 workers being needed by 2025).
- We operate in a world of increasing global connectivity and the ability to be culturally/globally proficient and to speak a second language is a step towards becoming a “global citizen”
