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.
Whether you’re currently working in one of these areas or you’ve always wanted to, this program is a great stepping stone to a new or accelerated career.
The first year of the program serves as a foundation year, while the second year provides students with a pathway to employment in organisations relevant to their specialisation such as event management companies, tourism operators, sporting clubs, leisure centres and local government.
A key feature of the course is the focus on hands-on learning, where students develop knowledge and skills through work integrated learning opportunities such as industry placements, fieldwork, case studies and applied research. This aims to enhance students’ problem solving, communication, critical thinking, teamwork, and leadership skills by allowing them to ‘learn through practice’. It has been designed to make university study a little less daunting—and a lot more practical.
Industry experts have helped to develop the course and are actively involved in its delivery. You’ll learn about contemporary business concepts and practices while developing problem solving and project management skills through industry placements and case studies.
The program is available for full-time and part-time study (depending on specialisation) across all campuses in Tasmania and is delivered through a combination of online study, face-to-face classes, practical workshops and tutorials.
Completing our Associate Degree in Applied Business (Specialisation) will give you:
- a pathway to a great career in sport, recreation & leisure, tourism & events or local leadership.
- an opportunity to accelerate progression in a current organisation
- an opportunity to open up a new career path
- a pathway into further study at the University of Tasmania.
Learning Outcomes
Practical experience
Experiential education and work integrated learning approaches are central to the Associate Degree in Applied Business. Students will therefore learn through project and problem-based learning activities such as field work, case studies (local and international), action learning, design thinking, simulated environments, placements, data for decision making, wicked problems and more. These approaches ensure practical experiences are placed at the centre of learning and assessment and that students have the opportunity to develop work-related skills, knowledge and behaviours.
In the first year of an associate degree, students are introduced to learning through practice and exposed to authentic experiences that develop skills and understandings related to industry, community or global needs. Students engage with (i) a range of methods and approaches to practice, (ii) principles and perspectives such as values, ethics, empathy and leadership in real world scenarios, (iii) reflection and deliberative thinking as a means of developing knowledge, skills, attitudes and aspirations, and (iv) ways of understanding problems and developing solutions through active inquiry.
A key component of the course, which is established in the first year, is a Practice Manual. The Practice Manual contains all portfolio requirements for the course, including the Professional Development Plan (PDP) and is a collection of evidence that highlights personal, academic and professional development. Dedicated teachers are in coaching roles to support you to continuously develop your Practice Manual over the duration of the course. This involves working with you to determine what evidence best highlights your ability to apply theory in practice, and what activities and experiences showcase your achievement in terms of transferable skills, professional attributes, technical skills and knowledge, and so forth.
The second year of an associate degree builds on the concept of learning through practice by introducing students to more complex learning experiences. Students are therefore introduced to (i) discipline-based skills and knowledge in dynamic practice situations, (ii) concepts of managing effective relationships and communicating with others, (iii) the development and use of adaptive leadership skills and how these skills relate to innovative and entrepreneurial practice, and (iv) the nature of responsible, accountable and reflective workplace skills, and creative and critical thinking relevant to para-professional practice. In addition, students are expected to exercise self-awareness, initiative and judgement to manage themselves and professional relationships effectively. On completion of the two years, students are expected to have a fully developed Practice Manual that highlights all their achievements, including the development of transferable skills and professional attributes, so they leave with a tangible asset that showcases what industry are looking for.
Career outcomes
The nature of what I am learning I can apply directly to my workplace. There are so many aspects of what I am studying that are transferable.
Graduation from the Associate Degree in Applied Business (Specialisation) can provide an entry opportunity for those who have not worked in business settings, accelerate progression through a graduate's present organisation, or open up new career paths and opportunities. This course provides graduates with paraprofessional level of business knowledge and practice applicable across industries. The career options of graduates may also be influenced by their chosen specialisation. A graduate's chosen specialisation might lead them to paraprofessional-level roles within that industry.
New to Applied Business and never worked in the industry before?
For those graduates new to Applied Business, this qualification could assist you to gain roles such as trainee positions with managers, team leaders, field officers, and researchers.
Already working and want to fast track or leverage off past experience?
