Business, Hospitality and Tourism Students Set to make German Connections

Lecturers at South Eastern Regional College (SERC) welcomed their counterparts from three German colleges to SERC Bangor Campus recently to plan the first stage of a new collaborative student project.

The UK German Connection project, funded by the British Council, will see students from the School of Business, Health and Hospitality get involved in student-led projects to improve their soft skills and help prepare them for the world of work.

Catherine Anderson, Principal Lecturer, School of Business, Health and Hospitality said, “This project will involve up to 30 students in a bilateral project, implementing project-based learning in the areas of Business, Hospitality, Travel and Tourism and Retail."

She added, “There may be an opportunity for SERC staff to travel to Germany in 2026, where German students will present their projects to the team, with the prospect of developing further student exchanges.”
