The Tourism and Hospitality Study Tour is a yearly international study tour which enables participating students to collect first-hand and real-world experience in prominent tourism destinations. Students gain insight into the operation of important attraction points and get to discuss face-to-face with tourism and hospitality providers. Usually, students also have the opportunity to work on an industry-supported project in the destination country. Past and current projects included working on geotourism with the UNESCO World Heritage Dolomites Foundation in the world-famous Dolomites mountains in Italy or working with the Apsara Authority in Cambodia to improve the visitation experience at Angkor Wat, the biggest religious complex in the World.
Students majoring in Tourism and Hospitality are given priority, but other students may be able to participate as well.

The International Tax Study Tour is offered on a bi-annual basis and allows students and experienced taxation lecturers to travel to various countries throughout the world and to explore their taxation systems. This allows for an in-depth comparison of the world taxation systems in particular with a comparison to that of the Australia Taxation System. The countries vary each study tour but since its inception, the tour has travelled to London, Paris, Rome, Denmark, Berlin, Vienna, Amsterdam, Belgium and the USA. The benefits to students are not also the educational aspects of the study tour but to share their passion of learning with a group of like-minded students. The study tour runs in the semester break in July and travel is for approximately 30 days and is a 25 point credit unit.
