“I received great support from my lecturers in the Sport Science and Physical
Activity department as they helped me to engage with useful contacts in the industry, suggested local work experience opportunities and often did a lot to be available outside of contact hours when needed. The University’s recreational sport programme was also fantastic in facilitating myself, the University tennis club and British Tennis to develop a comprehensive tennis participation programme at the University for students, staff and also the local community.“
