Scholarship Awardees
Vaness - Bachelor of Commerce International Hotel Management
'Hi, my name is Vaness and I come from Vietnam.
I have an endless passion for hospitality and am grateful I came across this college after plenty of research. I completed the International Foundation Business Programme before I began my Undergraduate journey. Thanks to the training and qualification I received from studying this year long course at Shannon College I was lucky enough to enter on to the Level 8 Business Degree programme and continue my journey here.
I enjoy both the theoretical and practical classes and I look forward to learning and exploring new fields within business and hospitality. This was the first time I get to experience practical modules such as Culinary/Kitchen, Restaurant Service/F&B and Rooms Division/Accommodation.
Shannon College for me is not only a place to study, explore and develop, I have also become part of a warm and friendly family. Otherwise known as "The Shanfam".
As I embark on my year 2 operational placement with the beautiful Cashel Palace Hotel, I look forward to learning many new skills and continuing my hospitality journey. '
