“Gaining accreditation from the Institute of Hospitality means a lot to the University and to our students. For the University and its staff lecturing on the Hospitality, Tourism and Events Management degree programmes it is acknowledgement that our hard work in ensuring that the models taught are relevant to the industry and academically appropriate. Whilst for the students, not only do they gain from the knowledge that their degree is recognised externally of being at a high standard, but it is also beneficial to their study. Opportunities available from attending IoH events, such as the recent student careers fair and networking event: Passion4Hospitality, gave the final year students confidence in seeking employment and they found the experience valuable. Also the IoH webinars and podcasts have given them a further insight on areas of interest and importance.”
