Sport

The University prepares you for the future in many ways. For me this meant taking advantage of opportunities and gaining experience outside of uni, in both football and rugby league. It makes me stand out from others by having that experience on my CV when applying for potential graduate jobs in the future. The course also prepares you for life after university, with dedicated sessions about career planning. The best thing about my course has to be the countless opportunities to volunteer at top level clubs. Taking advantage of the networks that the staff have, or the University is able to provide, allows you to stand out from your peers, and apply the knowledge and skills that you learn through university studies to real athletes in the field. I have loved being at York St John, not only the course itself but the people I have met.

I chose my course because of the structure and content of the modules. The lecturers are extremely knowledgeable and are always around to help you when you when you need It. You are taught in a variety of different ways and receive personal support from your very own academic tutor. Something that also sold the university to me. I am particularly enjoying the modules where I get to put the skills we learn in to practice. In our Advanced pedagogy module, we taught groups of children from the local primary school. This was an excellent opportunity because it allowed us to practise the techniques that we had been taught in a pressure free environment.

I have always loved sport and so it was logical to progress my passion into university life with the ambition of driving this desire into a career which I would enjoy. The performance conditioning dynamic of my course attracted me due to my affinity to training and desire to improve myself and others around me.
