The aspects of my course that I enjoy the most are the specialist modules we get to choose to tailor our education to our future career. Also, the helpful and approachable lecturers and professors in the School of Hospitality and Tourism Management which make my subject easier to understand. I am looking forward to the seven month Professional Training placement which I will spend at a top luxury hotel in London after I compete my first year – thanks to the unsurpassed connections that our School is known for.Omar El Menoufi- International Hospitality Management (EuroMasters) MSc
