Student Profile

Sophie is studying the Extended Diploma in Sports and Exercise Sciences and is a scholar on the Elite Girls’ Rugby Programme. “The College has provided me with many educational and sporting opportunities and has been the perfect place for me to grow not only as a student, but also as a rugby player. It has helped me to become more independent and self-reliant. The College has helped to create the perfect balance, allowing me time and space to focus on both my studies and my rugby training, which are equally important to me. The support I have received from the Elite Rugby Programme has been outstanding.”
