If you are looking for a fun, challenging, dynamic career path then Shannon college just might be for you. Shannon is not only a college that offers you a high level of hospitality training, but so much life experience from a wide range of different modules such as intercultural communications to facilities management.

From business modules to international professional work placements. The one thing you won't be doing is sitting in classroom the whole time. The mix of business and practical modules develops your soft skills, and the qualification of the level 8 business degree allows you to delve into so many different career paths later in life. It truly rounds you as a professional in the industry. Shannon also gave me an incredible circle of lifelong friends and opened the doors to a wider of network of Shannon alumni all over the globe.

For me, Shannon is much more than just a college, it’s a family. Shannon allowed me to be me and being someone with learning difficulties such as dyslexia I never thought I could achieve what I have achieved today. The tremendous number of services and support along with a very open approach to learning has pushed me to achieve my best. Shannon embraces every student and their uniqueness, bringing out the best in all of us.

I’m now nearly 2 years in London since graduating, and it’s been an amazing experience. I have had the opportunity to continue my management studies with the world-famous 5-star luxury hotel group 'The Mandarin Oriental' Hyde Park London. I took up their Food & Beverage Management Training Programme which led me to have the opportunity to join the Jumeirah hotel group for their exciting pre-opening and I am now part of the opening team for their new flag ship property in London.

Shannon gave me so many incredible opportunities, and still to this day give me so many amazing opportunities thanks to the training and experiences I have received.

I can’t say enough good things about Shannon and the people who makes it so amazing. So, if you are looking for a fun, exciting, and diverse career then Shannon may be the course for you. I would love to see you as part of the Shannon family in the coming years.
