“The guidance and knowledge from the lecturers at Cardiff Metropolitan University helped me delve into different hospitality and events sectors that I would not have initially considered, this includes large sporting events, which is now my perfect career. The topics covered across all the modules allowed me to learn about the fundamentals of the industries as well as my personal development, both aspects have helped me significantly in my role now and the stages beforehand.”

“Studying Events Management at Cardiff Met was the best three years and gave me a solid base for the start of my career. I enjoyed living in a new city with new friends and studying a topic I was passionate about. In my role as Events Project Manager at Top Banana, I have worked on a wide range of events from large scale concert style events with Years & Years, Rylan and Ella Eyre to an intimate fashion show with Victoria Beckham and everything in between!”
