Student Profile - Duangkamol Sukmongkol

MA Hospitality Management

I completed my batchelors degree at Dusit-Thani College in my home town of Bangkok followed by 8 months working at the Intercontinental Hotel, I had heard of UCB through friends who had studied here so when it was time to choose an institution for my post-graduate studies UCB was the natural choice.

I've enjoyed being in Birmingham, it's interesting as it is a completely different culture than at home, the food and lifestyle is very different. I live in The Maltings which is very comfortable and safe, with security staff available at all times.

The course has really opened my mind and helped me to analyse organisations at a strategic level. The highlight of the course so far has been our live project which we did in Poland; we were given the opportunity to analyse the running of an organisation and reported back to our colleagues.

I would like to go into teaching and the lectures at University College Birmingham have really inspired me.
