Today’s rapidly changing business environment is becoming increasingly global and complex and more customer service oriented. Digital and online communication, global distribution channels and global finance systems have removed physical and geographic boundaries. Successful multinationals, especially related to hospitality or customer service, such as large hotel chains, but also luxury retail, consumer banking or insurance operate in different countries, across different time zones, and they need leaders who can adapt to and understand these different and changing economic, political and cultural environments. Why choose BMIHMS at Torrens University? As businesses such as hotel chains go global, our industry partners and corporate networks are seeking managers with global mindsets and advanced transnational skills. Could this be you? This unique course will empower you to lead across borders and teach you to be nimble, adaptable and innovative. BMIHMS has built strong working links with multinational international hospitality organisations to provide students with excellent industry placement opportunities and graduates with greater job prospects.

DUAL DEGREE BMIHMS and Chifley Business School at Torrens have partnered to offer a dual qualification.
