History

Officially opened by the then NSW Premier, the Hon. Nick Greiner, MP on 13 May 1991, the School was the first in Australia to promote an internationally recognized hotel management program.

Under the guidance of an International Industry Advisory Board, the School developed an educational model in which students live and study in a fully operational simulated hotel environment.

In January 2005, the School also commenced its English Language Program, delivered by specialist teachers on campus for students wishing to improve their language level for entry to the undergraduate programs.

In September 2005, the BMIHMS acquired operation of the Australian International Hotel School, a private university-level provider of hotel management education, located in Canberra, Australia’s national capital.

Following a major refurbishment and extension of campus facilities in October 2006, the School announced the commencement of a new strategic partnership with the School of Tourism at The University of Queensland, the only other World Tourism Organization (WTO) accredited educator in Australia. The University of Queensland quality endorses the School’s own Bachelor of Business degree that accepted its first intake in 2009.

November 2008 marked the most significant corporate change for the Blue Mountains International Hotel Management School when the privately-owned school was bought by Laureate Education Inc, becoming part of a global education network.
