University of Brighton students’ grand prix glam in Bahrain

The University of Brighton International Events Management BA (hons) course has always offered a practical stepping stone into the glamorous and challenging world of managing large events – but for four lucky students, it also catapulted them directly to the recent Bahrain Formula 1 Grand Prix.

Four lucky University of Brighton students recently completed work experience at the Grand Prix of Bahrain, working hard to organise and entertain guests as well as selling merchandise and soaking in the atmosphere.
The trip began with training to prepare the students for the upcoming challenges over the four hard days of work. “During the day we worked in the hospitality tents, selling merchandise and promoting products,” said Amy Hooper, one of the students who travelled to Bahrain for the event.
