Bachelor of Business (Hospitality Management)

The ICHM Bachelor of Business (Hospitality Management) prepares you for an international career in a wide variety of hospitality businesses. You will progress from an operational base through to a management perspective.

Your knowledge is expanded each year with new industry relevant concepts and business applications. ICHM’s academic year consists of six months full time study, followed by a six month Work Integrated Learning (WIL) placement throughout Australia, or possibly overseas.

ICHM graduates gain a comprehensive understanding of the international hospitality environment, and as a result, have outstanding career prospects with many obtaining highly sought after positions around the world.

ICHM’s Work Integrated Learning (WIL)

process has been designed to ensure students leave their degree industry ready and can hit the ground running.

The professional internship provides a placement opportunity which enables students to consolidate the skills and knowledge they have acquired in practical, professional settings to achieve the subject learning outcomes and complete assessments which integrate theory and practice and facilitate self-reflection and critical analysis.

In addition to participating in the workforce with a host company as part of a structured internship or creating their own entrepreneurship venture, the students will also complete a placement project on an issue of strategic value to their host company or own venture, as described in the next section.

Students will critically reflect upon their own development plan and progress through the preparation of a reflective assessment that considers the impact of identified workplace experiences on their personal development and future career progression opportunities.

This subject also allows students the opportunity to explore their professional interests; test their industry expectations or possible start-up creations and ideas; apply, practice and develop real world employability skills; and form professional networks for future career success.

ICHM prides itself on the quality and number of WIL placements available to its students. These placements form an integral and extremely valuable part of all the ICHM degree programs.

ICHM works with a number of valued industry partners across hospitality and broader business industries, both withi$78,168n Australia and around the world, to facilitate placements which will enhance the career prospects of each individual student.
