Business, Computing & ICT Students Experience the Thrills of Alton Towers

As part of their Business, ICT and Computing courses, our students enjoyed a great day out at Alton Towers.  Not only did they get to sample all of the rides at Alton Towers but they also received talks about how the company works.  
The talks were from senior staff at the resort and covered Marketing for our Business Studies students and Systems and Control for our Computing/ICT students. 
The students had a great time and were really intrigued by the behind the scenes insight that they gained.
