the rundown

Imagine studying in an Australian castle overlooking spectacular Manly Beach, soaking in both knowledge and sun. That's what the International College of Management Sydney (or ICMS for short) is all about. It's a special place where students from over 40 countries come together, learning from professors who are industry leaders in their fields, managing hotels, executing events, and more. A stunning campus in an equally stunning city.

your academic journey

  • Nestled atop a picturesque cliff and overlooking Sydney Harbour, the International College of Management, Sydney (ICMS), known fondly as "the castle on the hill," is more than just a breathtaking landmark. This historical gem, originally constructed between 1885 and 1889 as St Patrick’s College, was the first National Catholic Seminary in Australia, designed in an exquisite blend of Neo-Gothic and Romanesque architectural styles. Now, it stands as a premier destination for over 1,800 international students, offering degrees across a variety of disciplines.

    Property market analysis plays an increasingly important role in our society in which identification and analysis of property indicators enables better decision making. Using various statistical tools students will embark on data collection and analysis in the property market. To better help represent data, map themes, identify market trends and complete a site analysis, students will also be introduced to a Geographic Spatial Analysis (GIS) program. Spatial analysis is widely used in the valuation, management and development of property. Once created the map lends itself to manipulation to visually see impact of changes in inputs if they were to occur and thereby try to solve challenging problems.

local vibes

Students start their journey with a Welcome to Country led by Indigenous elder Delta Kay, gaining a deeper understanding of the cultural and spiritual significance of the Bundjalung land they will call home.

Beyond structured sessions, students kayak with dolphins, practice morning yoga, and stay at Crystalbrook Byron, a sustainability-driven hotel nestled in subtropical rainforest. The result? A mindset shift that prioritizes well-being, cultural awareness, and community from day one—helping students start their semester with a strong foundation.

Through interactive sessions with experts like Tim Jack Adams (wellness strategist) and Dr. Jodie Bradman (clinical psychologist), students explore resilience, stress management, and personal well-being strategies to navigate the challenges of studying abroad.

Renowned wellness chef Samantha Gowing leads a hands-on workshop on food as medicine, teaching students how to fuel their bodies on a budget while embracing Australia’s vibrant food culture.

“Studying abroad with Hop has truly been the best decision I have ever made. In a short amount of time, I have explored the lively rainforests and the shimmering Great Barrier Reef. I've climbed mountains, sat at the edge of waterfalls, and even surfed the waves of the Gold Coast. I've met so many new friends from different backgrounds who unite on the same goal of discovering and learning, and I couldn’t have done that without Hop.”
