    Student Testimonial

    “I chose DBS because of its location, reputation and the recommendations based on past students. DBS has helped me change my career direction to the event industry. My event studies provided me with the opportunity to work in various events and gain experience which will help me get my dream job.

    The lecturers really made my experience a good one, there was always support available. They were really upbeat, friendly and helpful. They provided the help and guidance when I needed it, and helped me achieve my first class honours degree which I'm very thankful for."
