Industry Placement
Apart from putting into practice the skills learnt, students are able to enhance career prospects as well as develop crucial contacts and peer networks.
“As an Assistant Lodge Manager (Trainee) with the Mbalageti Lodge, Serengeti National Park, Tanzania, Africa, I was in charge of the restaurant during the day and the hotel as duty manager at night. It was so exciting; I had never seen a place so beautiful. Professionally I learned so much. And you had to learn about another culture, another way of doing things. My placement gave me a totally new perspective on my life, what’s important and what’s not. “
– Anders Solvang, BMIHMS Student, Norway
