Good

Academicaly is excellent. Administratively bad. Accomodation has very good prices for students and some are new. Facilities need changes. The location of the university is the best part though students have problems with the parking area.

Strong practical focus

At University of Central Lancashire, Hospitality and Tourism Management feels less like studying an industry and more like understanding how experiences are created. It’s not just about hotels or travel—it’s about people, culture, and the systems behind global tourism. The program blends management, customer experience, and tourism strategy in a practical and approachable way. It encourages communication, adaptability, and real-world thinking rather than just textbook learning. The atmosphere feels international, which fits naturally with the global nature of the field itself. It’s not the most intense or technical program, and sometimes you may want more industry exposure. But if you engage with it, you leave with something valuable—the ability to understand both the business and human side of hospitality and tourism.

Worst Diploma Thesis Experience

I had the worst possible experience during my diploma thesis grading, plus the overall grading system works in a very suspicious way and is totally unfair. My 1st degree is from an Engineering university (5years - integrated master) thus I had high expectations which were proven to be false. Throughout the thesis process, I was repeatedly assured that everything was progressing well. My supervisor gave me the impression that my work met all expectations and that my performance was strong. However, I was surprised and disheartened to receive a final thesis grade of 8/10, which was significantly lower than my average course grades, typically around 9/10. This discrepancy brought down my final degree average to 8.6, which does not reflect the overall quality and consistency of my academic performance. In higher level universities, you are supposed to get your best grade in your best project, which is your thesis, but not on Neapolis Pafos University apparently. Regarding my work, please note that even at my presentation everyone was thrilled about my work (I also answered every question with great success as they mentioned). All 3 supervisors congratulated me and then gave me an 8. I wanted some feedback, and I tried to call my supervisor but he rejected every single one of my calls!! Hilarious. The lack of alignment between the supervisor’s feedback and the final grade raises concerns about fairness and consistency in the grading system.
