ICHMs Pre-Masters Program
This Pre-Masters Program is offered as an alternative pathway into the ICHM Master of International Hotel Management. Students who have a sub-Bachelor degree or insufficient English IELTS may be catered for by this program.
It is designed to be an academic language, literacy and numeracy bridging program for international students who have qualifications that are insufficient to gain them direct entry into the ICHM Master of International Hotel Management.
Students who do not meet the Standard Masters Entry Requirements may undertake the Pre-Masters Program if they hold a three-year qualification from countries, where NOOSR guidelines indicate that they do not recognise their tertiary study as equivalent to an Australian undergraduate degree, and/or they do not meet the Standard English Requirements for entry.
