Blue Mountains International Hotel Management School (BMIHMS)

Graduates with Australian hospitality or event management degrees can look forward to their qualifications being very well regarded worldwide, and thus opening up truly global working opportunities. What’s more, it’s not a bad place to visit and live for a while. The locals are easy going and friendly, and the economy continues to expand, particularly the finance and tertiary education sectors. The political environment is robust, but very stable. In essence, it is a tolerant and diverse society offering a safe and very high standard of living. Then there’s the landscape; that remarkable physical environment, that sublime weather, that scenic beauty, those stunning attractions; it’s all true. From cosmopolitan cities to the stark outback, it’s a country full of contrasting and rare travel experiences.

Flexible student visas allow international students to take up the hospitality industry’s many part-time work options as students can work 20 hours per week. A strong, growing economy contributes to a buoyant hospitality job market, which means international students can gain valuable work experience as well as supplement funds for travel or further study. Blue Mountains International Hotel Management School (BMIHMS) was founded by Fritz Grubler, a Swiss hotelier; Max Player and Robert Whittingham, Australian entrepreneurs and founders of Mawland Property Group. The first school in Australia to operate the internationally recognised Swiss hotel management program. BMIHMS soon after develops an educational model in which students live and study in a simulated hotel environment.
