Alina Gavrilovskaya – Russia Business, Economics, Law and Politics Foundation Now graduated in BA International Hospitality and Tourism

I started the Foundation course at the ISC in 2008 and moved to my chosen degree in Hospitality and Tourism. I can’t believe that I have just graduated. I was working so hard and I thought that my graduation was so far away that I would never see it. But now I am standing here in a gown. It’s fabulous!

I would advise other young people to really take advantage of such an opportunity and to understand how this will help them in life in the future. The knowledge that they will get if they come to the UK to study will get them a long way. It’s priceless; it’s like the most important thing you can get. It’s a great . As a final message I would like to say come to Surrey and enjoy your life!

“Surrey has Tourism and Hospitality degrees that are ranked number 1 in the UK.”

Ramin Torabi – Iranian Business, Economics, Law and Politics Foundation, leading to BA Finance and Accounting

I chose to study in the UK because I wanted to experience a new culture and lifestyle. I enjoy being with students from many different nationalities.

The course was very useful and I found that most of the modules we studied at the ISC are of a similar style to what we are going to study at university. Teaching at the ISC is also very similar to the university’s system and the tutors show us how to be prepared for undergraduate study. Examinations and coursework are very close to what we will do at university.

I hope to do a placement in my third year, and eventually start working for a bank or a big company.
