He said his favourite thing about studying in Belfast was the people
Arfatul Islam will graduate this summer with a Masters in International Tourism and Hospitality Management from Ulster University.
He said: “When making decisions about where to study, I did extensive research on all UK universities and their ranking subject-wise. I actually received offers from a number of other universities but decided to study at Ulster as it’s number one in the UK for hospitality. Arriving during lockdowns at the start of last year, Arfatul struggled with things being closed as well as adapting to the new climate. Fortunately, it wasn’t long until things began to reopen and he secured an important opportunity to become a chef at the AC Marriot Hotel in Belfast in June 2021, with mentoring from leading French chef Jean Christoff Novelli.
“This was truly an amazing experience after all the lockdowns – meeting people face-to-face and coming together as one," he said.
