Imagine studying in an Australian castle overlooking spectacular Manly Beach, soaking in both knowledge and sun. That's what the International College of Management Sydney (or ICMS for short) is all about. It's a special place where students from over 40 countries come together, learning from professors who are industry leaders in their fields, managing hotels, executing events, and more. A stunning campus in an equally stunning city.

For hospitality majors, you have a chance to power-up that resume by spending their summer working in some of the worlds most prestigious hotels. Sydney is a bustling hub of culture and sophistication, and working at these eminent establishments puts you at the heart of the local industry. The Four Seasons, Shangri-La, Marriott, and Sofitel are just some of the iconic hotels where students have been employed.

Through a series of group meetings and targeted training sessions during the semester before your internship starts, you’ll learn the ins and outs of the local hospitality industry.
