What our students and staff say

Sport can influence your work ethic in so many ways. As an athlete, you need to understand how your body works, the biomechanics – and that helps me when I'm in the blocks to get the biggest first step I can."

BSc (Hons) Sport and Exercise Science graduate

James Beale
