The advice I would give to someone considering studying a Sport Management degree at Loughborough is: do it! The course allows you to tailor what you want to do, from teaching and coaching to sports economics and governance, preparing you for many different career paths.
The placement year lets you test what you’ve learnt in year one and two, and apply it to real world scenarios. It is also invaluable experience for completing your final year as it can help shape the topic of your research project.
