Bachelor of Business - BBA Hospitality Management

Adelaide-based International College of Hotel Management (ICHM) has been acquired by UP Education[1] from Charles Darwin University (CDU).

Offering undergraduate and post graduate business, hotel and hospitality management degrees, ICHM is the only official Swiss Hotel Association (SHA) affiliate school in Australia.

The Vice-Chancellor of CDU, Professor Simon Maddocks, said he is pleased CDU could sell ICHM to a trusted partner like UP Education who operates as a university pathway provider for the university.

“ICHM is a high-quality education provider that has successfully extended its offering to include Master programs during CDU’s ownership. The acquisition by UP Education at this time of growth will assist ICHM as it continues to attract students in an increasingly competitive education environment.”

UP Education is a top-three Australasian university pathway provider and New Zealand’s largest provider of skills-based learning. University partnerships include Charles Darwin University, University of Tasmania and Swinburne University of Technology, University of Auckland, AUT University, and Victoria University Wellington.

ICHM CEO, Natalie Simmons says UP Education is well placed to support ICHM as it looks to grow domestic and international student enrolments.

“With extensive experience with international student recruitment, UP Education can support ICHM and its focus on continued student growth. UP Education has given the ICHM leadership team confidence in a shared vision for the future, and with their support we can continue to build on our mission to be at the forefront of hospitality education by equipping our students with the knowledge, skills and professionalism for their future careers.”
