“A degree that has given me opportunities to see the world”
Mary G
Switzerland, Undergraduate
Hospitality, Catering / Hotel Management, 2017
OverallHospitality and Tourism Management at Napier University was extremely insightful and I was able to expand my knowledge on two areas that I am extremely interested in. I was also given many great opportunities with Napier University, such as taking part in a tourism project week hosted in Switzerland, and complete my 6 month work experience in a hotel in Tenerife. Overall, I gained a lot from my degree and hope to continue working within the tourism field.

Personal spending habits
I spend more money than in my Country because the cost of life is absolutly different than the town where I study in France. Moreover, when you arrive into a foreign Country I think it's shame if you stay at home.

Personal comments
it you like travelling to the Highland, you can buy a Smart card from Scottish City link for 6 pounds a year. You get reductions, if you go by bus to the Highlands.

Final comments
Travel: Start off with a tour around the main point in the first month of studies. When you start meeting people, start planning trips with them, and enjoy!
Food: look around the various supermarkets and compare prices. Don't restrick yourself to just to the one that's closest to home - this might be the most expensive one too.
