I completed two 3-month work placements in Belgium and Fuerteventura with the Erasmus+ programme. I was so grateful for the opportunity as it allowed me to gain valuable industry knowledge and experience. I’ve currently been offered a 6-month position in Turkey as a Holiday Rep with TUI.Daria Hrywniak (Hospitality & Tourism Management) -
I got a lot of support at NWRC. I enjoy college life more than school because it offers greater freedom and you are treated like an adult.Cian Fleming (Business)
