In the latest Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching (QILT) 2024 survey, the International College of Management, Sydney (ICMS) outperformed Australian public universities in key areas such as postgraduate skills development and learner engagement in management and commerce.

“As ICMS sets new standards in higher education, we remain dedicated to shaping the future leaders of industry.”
Public universities are institutions that receive funding and supervision from the government.
The QILT May 2024 National Graduate Outcomes Report shows that 116,250 students from 126 institutions, including Australian universities and private higher education providers, took part in QILT surveys.

The key differences between ICMS and Public Universities
When comparing ICMS as a private higher education institution with public universities in Australia, several key distinctions become evident.
- ICMS offers smaller class sizes compared to most public universities. This characteristic allows for more personalised attention and interactive learning experiences, fostering a close-knit community among students and faculty.
- As a private higher education institution, ICMS enjoys greater autonomy and flexibility in its operations, enabling the institution to be truly student-centric. ICMS can adapt swiftly to student needs and industry demands, tailoring its programs and services to provide a more customised educational experience.
It’s important to note that despite its autonomy, ICMS is regulated by the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA), ensuring that it maintains high standards of quality and compliance while still having the flexibility to innovate and cater to individual student requirements.
This regulatory oversight further reinforces ICMS’s commitment to excellence in education while allowing for student-centered initiatives and responsive program development.
