The breadth of knowledge taught, from injury prevention strategies and psychology to nutrition and sociology, gave me a broad understanding of working with athletes.

Â鶹ֱ²¥ University is number one for sports-related subjects in the world and it was an easy decision for me to come here to study for an MSc in Sport Management.

The Biomechanics and Performance Analysis internship that was offered alongside my degree allows me to work among world-class athletes and coaches.

I have found it useful to gain a better understanding of the theoretical and ideological frameworks that underpin development organisations and funding.

My extended knowledge in the fields of biomechanics, new technologies and the risk of and treatment of sports injuries prepared me very well [for my job role].

[The programme] covers a variety of areas ranging from media and marketing to sport development and politics. These topics are covered on an international scale.

The academic support is excellent. I gained a broad knowledge in the fields of accounting, marketing, HR, strategy for sports organisations and many more.

If you have a passion for sport and exercise and you want to help people by preventing and treating chronic illnesses, the Exercise as Medicine master's is for you.

The campus is a hub of specialist, highly experienced lecturers who support you at every opportunity. They made learning easy, enjoyable, and relatable.

I consider myself to be very privileged having the opportunity to work with, and be taught by, leading academics in their specialist fields.

I took an internship with Leicester Riders Basketball Club, where I was able to apply my knowledge to practice and develop my practical skills.

We are always encouraged to apply the theory to practical situations and be critical of the literature to form future research ideas.

I found the well-blended mix of in-depth scientific learning, coupled with insightful knowledge of practitioners and guest lecturers particularly useful.

The advice I would give is to take all the opportunities that the course provides, whether that be getting involved in research or attending the open lab sessions.

In studying this course, my goal is to gain the skills and expertise which will help me improve in my role as an athletes’ representative, sports administrator, and future leader.
