HND in Travel and Tourism
I was a mature student and returned to college to study HNC : Travel and Tourism after a long absence from education .
I didn ’ t have a specific career plan when I undertook my HNC . I had previously seen an advert for a Tour Guide at Machu Picchu , which appealed to me enormously , however it required a degree in the Travel and Tourism sector . So , I knew my dream job would involve obtaining a degree .
Progressing on to the HND boosted my confidence and invigorated my interests , and it allowed me to obtain a place at Napier University to study International Tourism and Airline Management . Returning to study and attending Fife College has allowed me to realise that ambition .
