Launching my Business ‘Sportfolio’
I never had an exact career path in mind, and I think that’s why Sport Management at Cardiff Met is such a good option, due to its flexibility and the vast amount of subject areas the degree covers. From finance to sports events and marketing, it covers a range of topics and gives you the chance to tailor your degree based on your desired career path.
Thanks to my degree I was able to create Sportfolio, a platform linking student athletes with their next step in their sporting career. I am very much at the beginning of my journey, and I have big plans for the next few years, but I am grateful for the foundations and support that both the Sport Management degree and Cardiff Met gave me.

A Practical Learning Experience
My favourite part of the Biomedical Sciences degree was gaining hands-on practical experience which made the course fun to engage with. The practical elements of the lectures are a big part of learning at Cardiff Met.
I learnt techniques that have set me up for my career, including blood testing, VO2 max tests, analysing bacteria and so much more.
I now work as a Technical Assistant within a laboratory where I apply many of the skills on a day-to-day basis.

This could include broadcast journalism positions with major broadcasters, producer roles creating content for sports brands and digital platforms, or working in the media office of major sports organisations, sports events and sports governing bodies dealing with press, media and sponsors. The sports management element of the programme will allow you to learn about development and management of the structures and environments in elite sport and the governance and administration of sport at a national and international level. This component is designed to give you a grounding in how professional sport is financed and an opportunity to examine the areas where sport media, business and marketing overlap. You will gain a fundamental understanding of how the sport media industry is organised from a local, national and global perspective, from TV coverage to broadcast rights, to the structure of professional teams and tournaments. You will acquire an appreciation of the sport consumer; this will include the consumer as a fan, both at the game or online, and as a participant.
We aim to help establish the guiding principles of what it takes to break into, survive and thrive in the industry today. Concepts such as ethics, media law, image rights, digital storytelling and sport on social media platforms will be explored alongside your own personal and professional development, not only in a sports media context but also in a way that will enable you to take your knowledge and skills into other sectors as well. Excellent on-site media facilities, first class sporting facilities on campus and top class venues in Cardiff and the surrounding region combine with a network of broadcast and media industry partners to provide a comprehensive workrelated and work-based learning programme.
