Student Profile - Theresa Gombera

MA Hospitality Management

I am originally from Zimbabwe and came to the UK to complete my undergraduate studies in Edinburgh; I then moved to the United States but wanted to return to the UK to complete my postgraduate studies. I'd heard about UCB from a friend who had studied here 5 years ago, I was really impressed when I first got here because it is such a diverse city and that is very important to me.

I live in The Maltings Halls of Residence which is comfortable and safe, sharing the kitchen with other students is fun as you get to learn about other people's food habits; at the same time it's nice to have your own bedroom and en-suite bathroom.

The course has given me a deeper understanding of a management level perspective, the strategic directions module in particular has equipped me with the skills to give vision and direction to any company I go to work for. I feel like I can conquer the world.
