SISFU is delighted to announce that our Hospitality partner university, The Adelaide based International College of Hotel Management (ICHM) has been named the best hotel and hospitality school in Australia for the quality of its student experience according to the leading national Student Experience Survey (SES). In the five core focus areas, ICHM outperformed every other hotel school in Australia. ICHM also exceeded all other hotel schools when it came to the quality of the entire educational experience. ICHM Chief Executive, Gerald Lipman says, “I am delighted but not surprised by the Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching (QILT) results.

“The survey shows students believe ICHM has the highest teaching standards of all of Australia’s hotel schools, coupled with outstanding facilities."
“ICHM also delivers excellent career prospects with 95% of students securing jobs in the industry immediately after graduation."
“The latest QILT results combined with graduate outcomes show ICHM continues to be Australia’s Best Hotel School,” Mr. Lipman says.
