Staying another year at Loughborough to study my MSc was an easy decision for me, as I thoroughly enjoyed my four years there studying Sport an Exercise Science BSc.

The status and awards achieved by Loughborough are truly represented in the student experience and sporting provision on offer. The campus and student-centred community create a fun and safe environment to study and live. 

The Applied Sport Performance Analysis MSc is run by individuals with extensive experience in practical elite sport settings, which was a real benefit. This facilitated additional guest lecturers from elite sport teams and contributed to the applied nature of the course which I feel was particularly useful in securing a graduate role.

Alongside the programme, I worked at Birmingham City Football Club as the Academy Data Scientist. This enabled me to put the things I learnt on the course into practice in a real-world setting. I was able to develop several skills including communication, data management and data visualisation, which were vital in securing my graduate role.
