Phoebe Sport, Health and Exercise Sciences BSc

I’m particularly enjoying the hands-on experience in the labs. My work placement with Access Sport on the Ignite and BMX Legacy programme has helped me to learn why people engage or disengage from physical activity and this complements my dissertation.
