"I chose this course because of its ranking in the field of sports science as well as an internship opportunity. It is interactive and engaging giving key management perspectives and alongside my internship at a local football club, the combination will enable me to enter the growing sports industry. I now work as a Football Devlopment Coordinator in India"
