LEARNING BEYOND THE CLASSROOM
Take a look at the incredible 15-day experience our Aviation, Travel and Tourism students enjoyed in Thailand as part of their course, supported by the Turing Scheme. Exploring new destinations and experiencing a different culture, students took their learning beyond the classroom and gained valuable first-hand insight into the global travel industry. This opportunity helped develop their confidence, cultural awareness and knowledge, preparing them for the international opportunities and expectations of the travel and aviation industry.
