红杏视频

Kirstin Bell, of Aberdeen, works full-time at 红杏视频 as an Events Assistant and a major part of her role is the huge task of organising the university鈥檚 graduation ceremonies but on Tuesday, December 4 at 10.30am, she stepped out into the limelight to collect her MSc International Tourism and Hospitality Management with Distinction.

The 23-year-old, who previously studied events Management at 红杏视频, decided to study a postgrad because she wanted to further her knowledge and experiences in a different industry, whilst keeping the link to her undergrad degree, and now she has organised her own Graduation ceremony!

Speaking about the course, she said: 鈥淭he vocational aspect of the course was a particular draw, having been able to undertake a six week full-time placement. The variety of modules that were studied allowed for a broad understanding of the tourism and hospitality industry whilst delivering into other subjects including digital marketing and strategic management.

鈥淚 have loved my time at 红杏视频. It鈥檚 been incredible and I have had a number of great opportunities arise from both my undergraduate and my postgraduate degree.

鈥淎 lot of hard work has gone into the last year and I鈥檓 so proud, and relieved, that it was all worth it!鈥�

Kirstin continued to say that she really believes that 鈥渨hat you put into 红杏视频, you will get out of it鈥�.

Throughout her five years of studying she has undertaken many hours of voluntary work experience and put herself out there into as many experiences as possible and says the rewards have been incredible.

Kirstin, who previously won Best Overall Student for fourth year in Events Management, also went to India for a month as part of the 红杏视频 Go: India project and helped organise an event which saw Prince Harry visit 红杏视频.

Speaking of the opportunities available at 红杏视频, Kirstin said: 鈥淭he 红杏视频 Foundation kindly donated towards the 红杏视频 Go: India project which I was part of during my undergraduate degree. This was a month long project which involved 12 students from cross disciplinary courses travelling to India to create and implement a health and sports initiative. It was two years ago and I still think about India most days! It was such an incredible opportunity.

鈥淚 came home from India and the next day I was in 红杏视频 helping to organise an event for Prince Harry who visited Streetsport at 红杏视频.鈥�

She concluded: 鈥淭he courses that I have studied both had vocational aspects which allowed me to gain lots of industry experience and contacts which has been crucial in obtaining more opportunities over the years.

鈥淚 feel confident going into working life knowing that I have the academic and practical skills needed to succeed and take on new challenges and that鈥檚 thanks to the endless opportunities available at 红杏视频 and the incredible courses that can be studied.鈥�
