Testimonials
Alana Williams
Bachelor of Business (Accounting)
“I worked full time whilst studying, with ICMS allowing for such a great work to study ratio and balance, where I was flexibly allowed to do both.”
Angelica Balajadia
Master of Management
“I have found my people here, I have networked here. I am open to doors opening and so many doors are opening already."
Calum McKnight
Bachelor of Business (Marketing)
“Very quickly, ICMS gave me a circle of friends who are pretty driven – but who also like to have fun – and when I see where they are now it’s pretty exciting and it drives me further.”
Isabella Cabral
Bachelor of Business
“A mentor is defined as ‘an experienced and trusted adviser’ or the verb is ‘to advise or train’. I now clearly see how this encapsulated the ICMS experience brilliantly… we as students have essentially been in training.”
Jouice Meek
Master of International Business
“One of the advantages of the International College of Management, Sydney (ICMS) is that they have the best industry partners in the country."
John Aguilan
Master of International Business
"When you are surrounded by a supportive team and company, you become resilience and realise you can achieve things you never imagined could do due to limited work experience in the industry or in Australia."
Taylor McLeod
Bachelor of Business (Sports Management)
“The small, intimate environment in my lectures makes me feel like I am being heard and that I am getting the most out of my studies."
Australian and New Zealand students
Have you received your offer and thinking about deferring*? Thinking about having a gap year first? Did you know that Australian and New Zealand students can…
- Enrol in just one or two subjects and make a slow start on your degree, then ramp it up when you feel ready.
- Start in February with just one trimester and then request a Leave of Absence*. This means you still get to catch the European summer!
- Usually only do 2 -3 days of studies per week. This means it’s possible to work and study!
Still want to apply for a deferral?
Refer to the steps laid out in the ICMS Deferral Procedure and contact your friendly ICMS Student Advisor for assistance.
- If you defer, a new Letter of Offer will be issued.
- High Academic Places (HAPs) cannot be deferred.
