Postgraduate student Chris Dunn tells us why he chose to undertake further study within the school: "After three enjoyable years at Uwic studying at undergraduate level,Iwas really eager to continue on to the Masters level that is offered here. After speaking to the programme tutors the programme modules seemed to be very diverse and really appealed to me. One of the elements that really stood out from other programmes at alternative universities was the opportunity to worK with industry organisations in the integrated project and the consultancy project.
"Tourism management for me is an exciting industry. Careers in tourism are wide and varied and can taKe you all over the world.
"Also it is very much customer orientated and I enjoy worKing for the general public.
