Our students said:
“During my studies at KJU I got serious knowledge, excellent atmosphere, and a lot of friends. After graduation I was employed by Gresham Palace, which at the that time was ranked the world’s best hotel by Robb Report, and where I was awarded with ‘the best employee of the year’ title. I also worked as a Chef de Rand in an Irish 5-star-hotel, at Mandarinoriental Hotel-Chain in the Bermudas as well as at Ritz-Carlton in the Cayman Islands.”
