WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY“I love travelling so when the opportunity arose to experience a new culture, see a new city and further my studies in my masters course I jumped at the chance. Being able to talk to different
individuals who work within the sporting sector has given me better scope for what I’d possibly like to specialise in or what career path I would like to take. The course modules and set up was very
appealing to me, as being a sports scholar at DMU, sport has always been a passion of mine.”
Matt Lilley
“This trip [Germany and Austria] has widened my vision and helped me appreciate the creativity that humans bring to the world of sport. I am newly inspired to share ideas, introduce a new perspective
and develop a creative project in my home country of Thailand.”
