Undergraduate · Hospitality & Tourism
Bachelor of International Tourism and Hospitality Management
International College of Management, Sydney, Manly, NSW, Australia
About this program
Where ICMS's Hotel and Resort Management degree leans into property-level operations, this program takes a wider destination and industry-management view: tourism policy, destination marketing, and cross-sector hospitality management alongside the hotel operations content shared across the college's tourism-adjacent degrees. It follows the same 12 core, 8 specialisation, 4 elective, 2 WIL subject structure as ICMS's other undergraduate business degrees, with the WIL placements often arranged with tourism boards, travel operators, or hospitality groups rather than exclusively hotel front desks.
Sydney and the broader NSW coast give this degree a genuinely useful backyard for its subject matter. International arrivals through Sydney Airport, cruise ship tourism through Sydney Harbour, and the Northern Beaches tourism economy that ICMS's own Manly campus sits inside all provide accessible, real-world case material that a program based somewhere without a comparable tourism economy would have to teach more abstractly.
Graduates typically head into destination marketing organisations, travel and tour operators, tourism policy roles with state or local government, or hospitality group management, a broader spread of outcomes than the hotel-specific degree, reflecting its wider industry-management framing.
