Van Nguyen Ngoc Thanh | IFBP Graduate - Current UG student - Vietnam
Hi, my name is Vaness. I am a year 2 BComm student 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 in 2023. 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 have just completed my year 2 placement in the gorgeous Cashel Palace Hotel.in Connect with Van Nguyen
Paul Collardeau | BBS 2024 - Assistant FOH Manager, Clayton Burlington rd.
After 2 years living in Australia and New-Zealand, I wanted to study closer to my family who were living in France. I was dreaming of studying in an international environment as it was important for me to master a second language. So, when choosing which country to pursue my studies in, Ireland stood out with its hospitable culture, warm atmosphere and welcoming people. It was also very easy to move in and transition into the lifestyle coming from a European country. I loved my years as a student of Shannon College, and continue to enjoy life as a member of the Shannon Alumniin Connect with Paul

Alice Buckley | BComm 2025 - MIT Intercontinental Washington DC
In the first year of Shannon, you are introduced to practical rotations to include Kitchen, restaurant service, skills for work life, IT, and accommodation services. You will start by learning the basics of each department, from cutting vegetables and carrying a tray to cleaning bedrooms and interview preparations. You learn to see from and understand both the customer and the employee's perspectives. The rotations are broken down into smaller continuous assessments, final assessments, and group projects. On my graduation day I was honoured to receive The Matt Ryan Scholarship at my graduation, which is awarded: "To the graduate who displayed during training the true meaning of welcome and conviviality in the Irish tradition of 'Céad Míle Fáilte'." I am currently based in Washington DC!in Connect with Alice

Bhaanvi Sharma | BBS 2023 - Reservations Manager, Cluster, Taj Hotels, India
I moved from India to Ireland in 2018 to pursue a Bachelor of business studies and International hotel management from Shannon College, affiliated with the National University of Ireland, Galway and graduated in March 2023. It was a great experience filled with lots of learning and opportunities for my career. As part of the curriculum, I got the opportunity to do my final year placement with IHG, USA and the program was designed and executed to enhance the potential of the hospitality industry students in senior management roles. All this was possible with the help of our college. Being an international student, getting a multi-cultural global experience in the industry, has expanded my career options. After a year of training as a Rooms Division Manager, I will be returning to the same property of InterContinental Hotel in Houston, Texas, as a Rooms Division manager. The college has a very strong alumni network across the globe and lives by its ethos of keeping the contact. And I’m very happy and proud to be a part of our Shannon Family.in Connect with Bhaanvi
