“During my studies at this very international university on Kahlenberg, I was grateful to be able of taking the chance of studying a semester abroad at UCF Rosen College of Hospitality in Florida, USA. The networking opportunities on both universities were not only an advantage in business life, but brought great friendship and bonds for a lifetime. After I graduated I decided to continue my education with a postgraduate study at another outstanding partner university of MODUL University Vienna, at University of Surrey, UK, number one in tourism education in the UK and Europe.
