Having completed an undergraduate degree at Loughborough in Geography and Sport Science, I discovered my interests lie primarily in sport development. I wanted to explore this interest further and modules on ‘The Politics of Sport’, ‘Sport and International Development’ and ‘Sport Integrity’ were of real interest to me.

Although Loughborough’s reputation speaks for itself in relation to sport courses, I chose to complete my postgraduate study here because I knew first-hand the high standard of teaching that is implemented at the University. Many of the module leaders had taught me throughout my undergraduate degree and knowing how much I enjoyed their teaching, I was confident the year would be a success.
