Our partner: University of East London – more than just classroom learning

Here at the University of East London’s Institute of Hospitality & Tourism, we recognise that hands-on experience is a fundamental part of education, especially in the hospitality, tourism, events, sport and aviation industries, which is why our courses are so much more than simply classroom learning. 

What you can expect when studying with us: 

• Teaching from experienced industry professionals, who are experts in their field
• The chance to start building your own professional network through our connections
• Regular field trips to learn about the industry first-hand
• Opportunities to undertake internships and placements
• Guest speakers from our network of senior industry professionals
• Chances to apply your new knowledge in practical events and assessments

The University of East London has been shortlisted for the prestigious University of the Year award at the Times Higher Education (THE) Awards 2025 – widely recognised as the Oscars of higher education. We are a careers-first university, so our courses are designed to give you all of the skills you need to succeed in your career after graduating, whether that be the knowledge and experience to succeed in a competitive job market, or the expertise to build a successful business of your own!

We also know that your learning environment is just as important as all of the opportunities for professional growth that we provide, and we are always working to ensure that your experience as a student is the best that it can be when studying at UEL. Just ask our graduates – our Institute of Hospitality and Tourism was rated the best in England for learning opportunities, wellbeing support, and freedom of expression in the 2024 National Student Survey!
