Life at AIHM
Introducing A Campus Unlike Any Other In Asia’s Hospitality Hub.
AIHM is one of Bangkok’s few international institutes located right in the city centre. Our students enjoy a vibrant, cosmopolitan lifestyle, as well as a brand-new campus with world-class facilities.
Why study in Bangkok ?
As a regional hub, Bangkok is well connected, multicultural and always fun. Importantly for students, it is also very affordable and safe. When our students graduate, there are many global and regional headquarters located here to apply to, offering unlimited opportunities for career advancement.
Life on campus
Our campus is cosy, with lots of interaction between students, faculty and support staff throughout the day. Students themselves enjoy a host of clubs and activities in between classes, all great for building relationships as well as resumes.
A cosmopolitan community
The AIHM community is made up of students and faculty from around the world. Fully immersed in English, students quickly acquire language skills and an international outlook, both of which are crucial for further study abroad or an international career.
Your home away from home
Most of our international students live in serviced residences in the neighbourhood. These we will be happy to recommend, as well as assisting with any arrangements, with a high level of pastoral care offered from the moment you enrol at AIHM.
Talk To
Our Student Ambassadors
The best way to see if AIHM is a fit for you is to talk to one of our students. Ask them about the programme you are interested in, what the campus culture is like, and about life in Bangkok in general.
