Diploma for Graduates in endorsed in Tourism DipGrad (Tourism)
The Diploma for Graduates is an academically integrated course of study, designed for graduates and others with equivalent qualifications or experience. From 2006 the University of Otago began endorsing programmes (i.e. with the name of the main subject field) and the Department of Tourism is offering the following course of study for the DipGrad (Tourism). This replaces the GDipTour for those without a Tourism degree.
This course is suitable for:
- Graduates with an unrelated degree wishing to gain a grounding in tourism (e.g. a Zoology graduate from Otago or a philosophy graduate from the USA).
- Those with a related degree who do not meet the entry requirements for the PGDipTour.
- Those without a degree, but with significant industry experience.
