Our employability strategy is founded on four pillars:
(i) collaborating with employers to identify the key competencies within the sport, health and exercise sector
(ii) embedding and developing these key competencies in our curriculum
(iii) providing work experience and volunteering opportunities so that students can transfer knowledge into practice and
(iv) we continue to support our students during and beyond graduation with dedicated academic staff, our Careers and Employability service and alumni relations team.
Throughout your degree, you can get involved with exciting and world-leading research activities.
