Adventure Tourism Management Internship Placements

QRC Adventure Tourism Managment students are placed on Internships around New Zealand. Many prefer to stay in Queenstown - the adventure capital of the world - because of the huge variety of companies located here and the positons they offer.

Intake dates for the Diploma of Adventure Tourism Management are timed so that when students go out on their work placements / internships, they will be immersed in the peak tourist season, whether it is summer or winter. This way, there are more adventure education or hospitality and tourism management positions available for students to apply for, and they also get a wonderful exposure to the excitement of New Zealand's 'high season'!
