Student Profile - Julia Gutkovska

BA (Hons) Marketing with Hospitality Management

I'm from Latvia and found out about the courses available at UCB via the internet. I lived in The Maltings during my first year which was great, it was a good location and I made lots of friends; I now live in a City Centre apartment.

I like the tutors and have had a lot of support particularly from my dissertation tutor, my dissertation is on Shopping Motivations and behaviour.

The modules on the course have been interesting and the live projects have been great, our 2nd year project was on the jewellery quarter and a destination management final year project saw us looking at Stratford upon Avon as a tourist destination.

I'm considering starting a Masters programme when her course finishes, whatever I do I'm going to stay in Birmingham.

I would recommend the college to anyone, it has a good reputation not just in the UK but across Europe.
