ICMS Orientation Week

The College provides an intensive orientation program the week before classes officially start. “O Week” begins with a formal welcome to the College and introduces you to life in Sydney and at ICMS. You’ll also be provided with timetable information, textbooks and course materials, and be fitted with your business suit. You’ll be required to wear smart casual clothes during O Week, and business attire during Week 1. You’ll then be supplied with your college business suit which is included in your Study
Abroad package.

International Cultural Immersion Program

Join us for our 6-day International Cultural Immersion Program in Cairns before you head to ICMS for O Week. The 6-day program is an in-country orientation that welcomes you to your host country, helps you adjust to the academic and cultural differences you
might encounter, introduces you to other study abroad students that will be attending ICMS, and exposes you to a beautiful and exciting area of Australia.

Past students are full of praise for the program, expressing how many friends they made, how much they loved the activities, and how great the leaders were. The program provides a unique educational aspect to your study abroad experience and it will prepare you for a semester of new adventures and lifelong memories.
Session topics include culture, health and safety, the Australian education system, cultural adjustment and living in Australia.
Included in the program are accommodation and breakfast and some other meals, one day on the Great Barrier Reef, visit to
Rainforestation for Aboriginal and wildlife experience, educational sessions and bus transfers to and from Cairns International Airport.

Optional Hospitality Internship

ICMS is committed to innovation in the delivery of educational programs, and continually strives to improve the experience for students enrolled in study abroad programs. A hospitality internship program has now been added to the ICMS study experience,
involving a 120 hour work experience component, which can be completed prior to the commencement of your study abroad program. This internship program is only offered prior to the February study abroad term. This internship option is only open to
applicants who are currently studying hospitality/tourism or events at their home University and have completed a previous internship or have work experience in the hospitality industry.
This program has a quota and applicants will be assessed for eligibility for the program before they are made an offer. You must apply for the study abroad program first and be made a full offer before you can apply for the internship.
