    I chose UEL because they offered the course I wanted to study and saw the progress they were making in sports. Previous students told me how good the lecturers were at delivering the course. Being at UEL opened up some great opportunities for me, including working with the US Olympic team and placements at Leyton Orient Football Club and Mile End Hospital."
