During my time working in Korea, I realised that I wanted to engage in work that truly motivated me. My passion lies in sports, but at that point, I lacked the necessary knowledge about the industry. Therefore, I decided to pursue a Master's degree related to sports, which would allow me to delve deeper into various aspects of the sports industry while also connecting with professionals who could teach me valuable skills and insights. I believed that completing a sports-related master’s degree would better position me for success in this field.
I found the curriculum of the Sport Management, Politics and International Development programme to be incredibly diverse. Not only did I learn about sports management, but I also explored areas previously unknown to me, including sport integrity, sport policy, governance, law, and international development in sports.
One of my favourite aspects of the programme was its openness, diversity, and inclusivity. Lecturers and students came from different countries and backgrounds, bringing unique perspectives and fostering an environment of mutual respect and critical thinking. This experience helped me develop the ability to approach problems from multiple angles, enhancing my overall academic performance.
