                        Hotel Programme - Paid Work Experience  
                          
                        The  
                        British Home Office Ministry has relaxed some of the  
                        rules regarding the initial rigorous selection criteria  
                        for paid Work Experience in the UK. This brings the  
                        rules for non-EU students more in line with the rules  
                        for European students and passport holders.   
                         
                         
                         
                          
                         
                          
                        Non-EU  
                        students must have a qualification equivalent to that of  
                        NVQ level 3 or 2 GCSE 'A Levels'. For non-EU students,  
                        this is usually equivalent to their High School Diploma.    
                         
                         
                          
                          
                         
                          
                        Although  
                        students must still be currently studying at university,  
                        their field of study is no longer restricted to  
                        just tourism/hospitality subjects. Therefore, students  
                        preparing ANY SUBJECT at University can be  
                        accepted.
