Our students
International Hospitality Management student Romesa loves to travel. Her passion for the hospitality industry has seen her develop her knowledge of marketing and international events management. Now, after getting hands-on with planning the graduation ball, she’s looking forward to a globetrotting career. Next stop – the USA!
The course has offered me frequent opportunities to gain practical work experience. I have worked as an International Student Ambassador, giving advice to international students and I am currently organising an event as part of my module assessment which is a large-scale Graduation Ball.
