Significant experience in the Hotel, Tourism or Leisure Sector may mean you do not need to complete a placement year. Most students find that the placement year helps them develop a professional attitude and gives them vital contacts with people in the industry. The Placement Centre at South Bank will put you into contact with organisations looking for placement students. We have strong links with many international companies who regularly offer employment. Students are also free to organise their own placement with a company of their choosing, providing that they consult the placement centre.
Most companies offer remuneration in line with industry recommendations.
The Government sets tuition fees annually. You are responsible for your course fees however much the LEA pays. For non-EU students the current fees are 6000 a year. The amount is dependent on your living situation and year of study - it is approximately 4,590 for a first year student living away from home in London and 2,950 for those still living at their parent's home. The entrance requirements are more flexible for mature applicants.
