PT
Pratika Teyssedou
Programme Manager — Hospitality Department
Having worked in the Travel and Tourism industry before moving to Hospitality, I have accumulated over 16 years of experience across departments such as housekeeping, food and beverage, and front office management. I completed a Bachelor's degree with Honours in Hotel Management from West London University in 2004 and an MA in Management from Metropolitan University in 2006. Throughout my career I was the departmental trainer, which led me into education when I began teaching at Mont Rose College in 2011, having obtained a Diploma in Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector in 2010. I became Programme Manager for the Hospitality department in 2014, before completing a Level 3 Certificate in Assessing the Quality of Assessment in 2018 and a Postgraduate Certificate in Education with Anglia Ruskin University, becoming a Fellow with ADVANCE HE in 2019. My responsibilities include managing all aspects of the Hospitality department — planning, delivery, and assessment of the HND programme, building a team of lecturers, and cultivating relationships with students. Over the years I have also managed the Hospitality Top-Up Bachelor programme and the Foundation year in partnership with Buckinghamshire New University.
