We offer a range of opportunities to develop your professional network. Attend networking events, and guest lectures, and connect with future employers such as Sacha Lord, Co-Creator of Parklife and the Warehouse Project.

Hospitality and Tourism students can also enrol onto our mentoring scheme in their final year. This allows you to gain a unique insight from those at the sharp end of the industry.

We have a dedicated careers team who will work with you, as a student, to enhance your employability and after you graduate to support the start of your journey into the world of work.

Student testimonial

The industry events that I have attended have given me the opportunity to network, network and network. This has not only given me the chance to seek advice and get some insights on the industry, but it has also inspired me to explore the industry in order to help me find a job that is suitable for me once I graduate.
