5 months Australia, 5 months beach & sun, 5 months true joy of life. In September 2019, I started my most exciting trip so far – all the way to Australia. I decided to spend my semester abroad at the International College of Management Sydney, and therefore also to study and live in a castle on the other side of the world. ICMS is located in Manly, a suburb of Sydney, and is one thing above all: international! Students from over 22 countries study here and enjoy life. The university offers many different courses that cover, the various fields around management, for example. Among other things, I took the course “New Enterprise Creation”, in which we had to develop a business plan for a company we had created. It is precisely this aspect that distinguishes ICMS, as the university puts a great value on the practical relevance of its teaching. Outside of my studies, my time was filled with sports activities such as the “Boot Camp” offered at ICMS or surfing at Manly or Freshwater Beach. I also invested a lot of free time in traveling, since there is so much to see and to experience! I am happy to be the new Student Ambassador and to be able to tell you more about ICMS and life in Australia.

O-week in February was as always a blast!

The first week at ICMS began for the students with Orientation Week (O-Week). During this action-packed week, students have been introduced to the ICMS community and also to life in Manly. Students learned about the academic side of things, had fun and met new people who will be sharing their ICMS experience with them

Impressions and pictures by Julian G:

Enjoying O-Week at ICMS in Manly, Sydney. Still feels unreal to call this home for the next months. I have only been here for a week, and yet I have already gained so many new impressions.

Christmas in Australia. Well, 26 degrees, constant sun, surfing in the ocean and the absence of the famous German Glühwein certainly don‘t give you your typical Christmas feeling. Me and my friends found that a little sad, so we created our own international Christmas party, with Swedish cookies, Finnish glögi (Apple wine), German Baumkuchen and lots of other international christmas treats. Christmas style clothing was a must!

When people think about studying hospitality images of fine dining and plush 5 star hotels typically spring to mind. But for recent graduate Georgina Larby, studying a Bachelor of Hospitality Management at ICMS in Manly was a springboard to entrepreneurial success.Georgina’s company Pure Pops with its range of handcrafted, 100% natural ice pops has really struck a chord with health conscious consumers. After humble beginning in Sydney’s Northern Beaches, her delicious product range is now stocked up and down the east coast of Australia.Initially drawn to ICMS by the stunning location and interest in the hospitality industry, it was the unique blend of business/management content along with her 9 month industry placement - a feature of all ICMS degrees - that started her on a more enterprising journey.

Georgina says, “ICMS was my first pick to study a Bachelor course in hospitality. The location of the campus was also a major deciding factor… how can anyone say no to the view?

Thanks to ICMS I have developed an all-round hands-on approach to business and management. “My industry training placement was at Victoria’s, Wategoes Beach Byron Bay and the owner of the business fuelled my eagerness to start something for myself. My business, Pure Pops, is continuing to grow
and there is a great community around our brand from our suppliers, to the stores that stock us and our happy customers,” she says.

“Thanks to ICMS I have developed an all-round hands-on approach to business and management. There is not a day that goes by that we’re not thrown in the deep the end. The only way to trouble shoot your way out of these situations is to know your business and not be afraid to think outside the square.”

Working with celebrities such as Katy Perry, Ed Sheeran and Tom Cruise is all in a day’s work for ICMS Bachelor of Event Management alumni Kiana Harvey.

Q: What were the major contributing factors to your decision to study at ICMS? 

ICMS offers so many things that many other universities and colleges don’t. What really attracted me to study at the college was the ability to travel whilst studying, and the Industry Training program which allows you to get a foot in the door for your future career. I think that being able to do this has added so much credibility to my resume and this is something that is often pointed out by professionals in my industry. The Industry Training at ICMS has opened so many doors for me.

Q: What would be your advice to someone considering studying at ICMS? 

Be open and available to any and every experience that ICMS provides - even if it is just working on the Open Days or even O-Week! So many of these industries - from events, to property and hospitality - are about ‘who you know’ and you never know who you may meet at events like these. Get yourself known, be yourself and never be scared to let your voice be heard.
