Royal Docks Business School (UEL)<br />
The University of East <strong>London</strong> (UEL) is a global<br />
learning community with over 23,000 students<br />
from over 120 countries world-wide.<br />
Our vision is to achieve recognition, both nationally and<br />
internationally, as a successful and inclusive regional university<br />
proud of its diversity, committed to new modes of learning which<br />
focus on students and enhance their employability, and renowned<br />
for our contribution to social, cultural and economic development,<br />
especially through our research and scholarship. We have a strong<br />
track-record in widening participation and working with industry.<br />
The University of East <strong>London</strong> launched its BA Events<br />
Management degree programme in 2007 and it has already<br />
become one of the most popular courses in the Royal Docks<br />
Business School. Our students come from a diverse mix of<br />
backgrounds and many have previous experience of working in<br />
the events industry and related fields.<br />
Many are pro-active and are not averse to rolling up their sleeves<br />
and getting their hands dirty. Equally, they appear to relish the<br />
opportunity to explore new opportunities and to accept additional<br />
responsibility, and are often capable of working with limited or no<br />
supervision.<br />
We actively promote the benefits of gaining practical, hands-on<br />
experience during their studies as we understand that this type of<br />
experience is vital in an increasingly competitive marketplace.<br />
A number of students have worked as temporary events staff at<br />
events staged at <strong>ExCeL</strong> <strong>London</strong> on an ad-hoc basis and we would<br />
welcome any similar opportunities or more formal arrangements.<br />
With this in mind, we are proposing to introduce a series of<br />
work-based learning modules where students can evaluate their<br />
experience and skills in the work environment and attain credit<br />
towards their programme of study.<br />
If you have an event or opportunity where you wish to discuss<br />
the possibility of UEL students assisting with the planning and<br />
delivery stages, please contact Mark Watson.<br />

Browns West India Quay is in an exciting and thriving<br />
part of <strong>London</strong> which has been developing quickly<br />
since the 1990s.<br />
We have a great seating area overlooking the dock at the front of<br />
the restaurant, with the docklands’ impressive gleaming metal and<br />
glass skyscrapers looming above. As the name suggests, the docks<br />
here used to unload ships from the Caribbean and the restaurant<br />
was once a sugar warehouse, built in the early 19th century by<br />
Napoleonic prisoners of war. It has preserved a very distinctive<br />
atmosphere as a place where old meets new with grace. And<br />
Browns West India Quay fits right in with its innovative take on<br />
classic food. At our restaurant we offer a stylish blend of classic<br />
and modern dishes, platters-to-share, pasta, salads, sides and<br />
puddings. We believe that food should be satisfying, delicious and<br />
rewarding!<br />

When Jamie’s Italian was first conceived, the starting point was to<br />
re-create what Italians are most proud of - fantastic, rustic dishes,<br />
using recipes that have been tried, tested and loved! Jamie talks<br />
about “feeling Italian” and in Gennaro Contaldo, we can tap into<br />
real thing. A great mentor for our young chefs and someone who,<br />
as a boy growing up in a tiny fishing village on the Amalfi coast,<br />
learned how simple, fresh ingredients, prepared and cooked with love<br />
and passion (a phrase he uses every day - and means!) become truly<br />
great dishes.<br />
So of course we wanted to serve exceptional food. But our aim was<br />
also to create an environment with a “neighbourhood” feel, inspired<br />
by the “Italian table” where people relax, share, and enjoy each<br />
other’s company. Jamie’s Italian was designed to be accessible and<br />
affordable, a place where anyone is welcome and everyone will feel<br />
comfortable, no matter how much you spend or how long you stay.<br />
Whether you’re a regular at Jamie’s in Canary Wharf or it’s your first<br />
time we hope you do and will get to experience the love and passion<br />
that we all feel for our restaurants on a daily basis.<br />

Japanese food. We can cater for a variety of needs whether you<br />
want to book for 2 guests just for cocktails or hire out the entire bar<br />
any day of the week or week-end. The food is essentially Japanese.<br />

dry-aged Scottish cuts from Inverurie – the birthplace of the<br />
legendary Aberdeen Angus steak. These prime meats are<br />
individually cut and freshly cooked on our authentic Montague<br />
