To ensure your future success, contact hours are high at ICHM. Year 1 students will do some practical restaurant experience with evening and weekend shifts. Most subjects are taught across the academic semester with a small number taught in half semester blocks. This allows ICHM to prepare students for the demands of the industry during the industry placement semesters. Students are encouraged to manage their time efficiently and study habits to allow sufficient time for relaxing, playing sport, catching up with family and friends, hobbies and fun.
