UC Business School’s Post

I recently attended a symposium organised by BMN College, where I shared my experience as an international student in the UK, highlighting the impact of a skill-based curriculum on my career. The symposium focused on "Bridging the Gaps in Tourism and Hospitality Education: Designing a Skill-Based Curriculum." I emphasized how the UK's educational approach, which included practical case studies, site visits, critical analysis, and stakeholder engagement, helped me gain invaluable insights into destination management, sustainability, and strategy planning. I also recommended incorporating topics like sustainability, practical learning sessions with industry experts, and networking opportunities into the curriculum to better prepare students for the industry. Grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this important discussion!

At IE University, transformative opportunities are more than just words—they’re experiences that shape both academic and personal growth. In collaboration with La España Azul, led by the inspiring NACHO DEAN, IE School of Politics, Economics & Global Affairs students pitched their innovative marketing and communication ideas. The winners embarked on an unforgettable expedition to Valencia, participating in beach clean-ups, sailing expeditions and visits to scientific institutions like L’Oceanogràfic. Guided by NACHO DEAN’s vision to protect our oceans, these students not only contributed to environmental sustainability but also gained profound insights into teamwork, community and personal development. As Borja Santos Porras, our Vice Dean, highlights, such experiences underscore the intersection of learning and real-world impact. This collaboration reflects the essence of IE University —combining global challenges with actionable solutions. Read more about the experience: https://shorturl.at/lL9nU
