Louise Rowe Tourism & Events Management FdA

Louise studied the National Diploma in Art and Design at The College with the view to becoming a Costume Designer. During this time she began singing for a band and through that got involved in organising gigs which she really enjoyed so decided to to enrol on the Foundation Degree in Tourism and Events Management. Louise says "The Foundation Degree in Tourism and Events Management has definitely been the right choice for me. It has provided me with the opportunity to be both innovative and practical in my work and has given me valuable insight into the industry. Work placements also give you the additional experience, which I will utilise during the second year.

This course is perfect for anybody with creative flair, who is also academically minded. I would recommend Foundation Degrees for your career development."
