The amazing sports facilities were a massive pull to the university but when I visited, the general feel was great too – it felt so welcoming and relaxed.
I was a bit lost on what to study to be honest as there were multiple avenues I wanted to explore (e.g., Sports Journalism) so when I discovered the combination of English and Sport Science it was a no brainer. I loved the versatility of the course – going from annotating a piece of modernist literature to coaching gymnastics in a matter of hours kept me consistently interested. I loved the practical element of my course – being able to get first-hand experience within the Teaching and Coaching field was great.
