Looking for a killer opportunity to study business, management or all things related, network with people from all over the globe and experience vibrant college life in a stunning beachfront location? Yeah, we don’t blame ya!

The International College of Management Sydney (ICMS) is here to help you achieve all of these dreams, and get you set up for an awesome career to boot. There are heaps of different study options under the umbrella of business and management, including areas like tourism, sports management and fashion, so there’s something at ICMS for you, no matter what your interests. Oh, and did we mention they don't look solely at your ATAR when you apply?

Studying business at larger universities can often mean a broad degree, that maybe doesn’t suit your individual needs and desired career path. ICMS wants you to know they’re small but mighty, and different to everyone else. They offer highly specialised diplomas and degrees from the get go, so you can start learning about the areas you’re really keen on right away and get a fast-track ticket to the career of your choice.

Students at their campuses in Manly and Sydney CBD have the opportunity to study any of these: Business, Entrepreneurship, Marketing, Sports Management, International Tourism, Event and/or Hospitality Management, Property, Accounting, and Fashion (Global Brand Management). Cool, right? We think big yes. Don’t stress if you didn’t quite get that ATAR mark you wanted either, these guys take into consideration a lot more than just the ATAR and care more about your ability and how you’re going to create your own future success

You’ll come out of ICMS clutching a solid, internationally-recognised qualification, and you’ll have real industry training and know-how that’ll have you job ready and raring to go. Their industry training program will have you working within your chosen industry for up to nine months as part of the degree, which will set you leagues above the rest for prospective employers. ICMS place a big emphasis on professionalism (students wear business attire while studying on campus) and you’ll be so well taught about the business world that when you start your first official job - it'll feel like you’ve worked in the industry for years already.

Don’t think that this means there isn’t a lively college atmosphere either! The student population living both on-campus and nearby in Sydney are made up of people from all over the world. This means you can make friends and network with people from different cultures and gain a good understanding of how business looks in a global context.

The stunning sandstone campus is quite famous, and at first glance it's easy to see why - it was the film set for the Great Gatsby after all! Students can enjoy the laidback lifestyle of Sydney’s Northern Beaches during the day, and don’t forget the great nightlife in the area either. Local bars have their doors open all week, with some backpackers’ nights being an epic unofficial party for ICMS students.

If you’re looking to combine serious studies with an awesome college experience, ICMS really has it all. There’s a bunch of clubs and societies you can join, sports teams that play competitively, ski or surf trips and heaps more stuff to do, so students coming from overseas, interstate or even just down the road can enjoy everything ICMS has to offer.

For those of you who maybe think a business course would be dull and not necessarily suited to your needs, ICMS is here to prove you wrong. The highly specialised nature of their diplomas and degrees offer something for everyone; heck it might even inspire a career idea you’d never had before! You’ll learn about stuff you’re genuinely interested in, meet sick people from all over the world and get real experience in the workforce. All while spending a few sweet years in Manly, one of the best beachside towns Sydney has to offer.
