1. Adventure Tourism
If you're motivated and passionate about learning about the development of tourism outside of the classroom, then Adventure Tourism is the perfect subject for you.

Either way, this class is perfect for those seeking a hands-on learning experience in the tourism industry.
2. Cyber and Fraud Threats in Organisations
Have you ever wondered how cybercriminals operate, or why certain people are more vulnerable to hackers than others? This course seeks to answer those questions by explaining the criminal offences of cybercrime from the perspective of both the hacker and the victim. Covering everything from professional crime to corporate cybercrime, this course explains how a cybercriminal researches their targets and exploits their vulnerabilities, and provides strategies to mitigate the prevalence of these crimes.
