BSC (HONS) BUSINESS AND TOURISM MANAGEMENT

Elena Todorova

The campus is very new and comfortable. One of the best I saw. I like because I can work – I have a child and I can study and I can work and be with my family. This is very good for me. Because I have lived in this country only second year and English is a new language for me, when I study here I can teach my child at home new words.

HNC/HND IN BUSSINESS

Manea Bianca

It’s my first year here. I chose this university because it gave me the opportunity to have choice. I study two days per week - it’s very flexible. It makes it easy to study.
