Career opportunities
STUDENT STATEMENT
After my BTS studies, I enrolled on the third year of the Bachelor’s degree at Savignac in order to further develop my skills. Thanks to Savignac, I spent six months on a work placement in Bali as Assistant Food and Beverage Manager in a Golden Tulip hotel. This rewarding experience encouraged me to study for an MBA. While studying the various modules, I acquired the relevant skills and flexibility to give me confidence for my professional working life. My experience at Savignac can be summarised by a feeling of fulfilment and learning that I have the ability to push my personal boundaries. Studying here is a real opportunity!
