Student profile

Venice Hardware

I want to work in the travel and tourism industry after university, says Venice, which is why I chose this course. It's been really fun working in groups with other people and we've been able to go to various events such as the World Travel Market at the Excel Centre, which has been a useful experience for my course. I study at the Centre for Business, Arts and Technology which has fantastic IT facilities with plenty of computers for all the students and a really fast system. I'd recommend City and Islington because I believe it's a good environment to be in and because both the teachers and the other students are really friendly. Venice studied on the Applied A-level in Travel and Tourism.
