Next move… for someone in catering

My son is considering a career in catering and hospitality management. Could you please recommend universities that offer respected degrees?

The Answer Many universities do have excellent degrees for hospitality management, but it's worth doing your research and making sure they offer exactly what you want. Thames Valley University offers a wide range of courses, and Springboard can provide you with contact details for this and many other colleges and universities in the UK. Your son is in a great position just starting out in the industry and if he would like an insight into this fantastic profession then we can arrange a "buddy day" for him before he starts at university. Visit www.springboarduk.org.uk for more details.
