MANCHESTER Metropolitan students had a much more mobile university experience than normal as their lecture rooms were on Windermere Lake Cruises boats.
Two groups of students from The Manchester Metropolitan University Business school have taken cruises on Windermere as part of their course.
The students were given talks on how the attraction has adapted to face the challenges of the pandemic and on sustainability in the tourism sector.
The students were from The Manchester Met’s BA (Hons) International Tourism Management course and the MSc International Tourism and Hospitality Management course.
The field trip was organised by Cumbria Tourism to promote opportunities available to graduates within the county's tourism and hospitality sector.
Dr Asia Alder, from the Business School, said: “Our trips to Windermere were extremely valuable for the students who were keen to learn more about international tourism and hospitality in Cumbria."
The students also went to other attractions and accommodation providers as part of their field trip.
