It all started with the welocing word by Professor Dipra Jha, Professor Enkeleda and Professor Halyna Miasoid. Alfred Nobel University students were introduced by Liza Kurulyak, doing her Hotel & Restaurant Bachelor’s degree programme.

The global classroom is opening new unprecedented opportunities for growth, professional and personal development for students in Tourism and Hospitality at Alfred Nobel University doing Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees alike, as we lets us into a new vision, perspectives and experiences of the renowned speakers.

We were all caught by the positive attitude of Doctor Kristina Malek towards the Event industry, event management and design, and learned that there might be diverse options for employment in any field if you speak the event language.
