Academic Partnership:
Torrens University Australia
At Flight Centre Travel Academy, our mission is simple – to open up the world for people who want to turn their passion for travel into a rewarding career. Since 2017, we’ve partnered with Torrens University Australia, one of the country’s most innovative higher education providers, to deliver a university accredited qualification that blends real-world travel industry expertise with university-level recognition.
Delivered in conjunction with Torrens University, our Diploma of Travel & Tourism (Higher Education) is a nationally recognised qualification designed for students who want to study travel and tourism online and build practical skills for employment. This program combines in-depth industry knowledge with the hands-on skills employers demand – making it the ultimate first step into a career in travel and tourism.
Graduates don’t just finish with a Diploma. On graduation, you’re guaranteed direct entry into the second year of a Bachelor of Business (Hospitality and Tourism Management) at Torrens University Australia, plus receive a 25% scholarship to continue your higher education journey.
