The University of East London is embarking on a new era of teaching, research and industry collaboration in hospitality, events and tourism. It’s being led by a forward-thinking team headed by Lisa Wyld, Director of the Institute of Hospitality and Tourism at the University of East London, and experienced specialists from the fields of hospitality, event and tourism management.
Our degree structure and focus reflect the growing need for international expertise, and the desire among students to start their own businesses. Each programme offers a year-long placement opportunity with one of our industry links, exposing you to real-world practice and giving you the chance to apply the skills you’ve developed in your first two years.
Career-focused courses Course options include a placement with one of the many leading employers who partner with the university, regular guest lectures, study trips and work experience. Each year students take part in a field trip to learn about difference aspects of hospitality, events and tourism.
Lisa says, “We’re very proud of our degree programmes. They’re industry- inspired and meet the needs of students and the industries they’ll be going into after graduation.”
“Students will benefit from a mixture of theory and the links between theory and practice, to ensure the relevance of their studies to the real world of employment.”
As Fred Sirieix, the general manager of Galvin at Windows, Hilton Park Lane, told us:
“I particularly support the focus on connecting graduates to relevant industry experience and knowledge in readiness for a career in our vibrant profession.”
Value added learning Our graduates develop solid business principles alongside contemporary sector knowledge and plenty of hands- on experience working in the field.
BA (Hons) Events Management graduate Courtney Phillips had this to say:
“Studying at the University of East London means I have gained the knowledge and confidence required to enter the events industry.
The experiences offered and assignments set have been extremely beneficial in helping me develop transferable and practical skills to use within a career.”
A vibrant place to learn And the university’s location in East London – based across two campuses in Stratford and Docklands – gives it access to partners like ExCeL London, the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and Elior, as well as exciting innovators and business leaders who sit on the university’s industry advisory boards.
Vanessa Williams, who graduated from the university in 2018 with a BA (Hons) Hospitality Management, said:
“I’m currently working at the London Edition hotel. I’m so happy to be in a great job in the industry I’ve always wanted to work in.I’m feeling confident about the future, and know that the staff and quality experience at the university helped me get here.”
