Testimonials
Don’t just take our word for it! Here is a selection of testimonials from Universities where we have delivered our Careers in Sport events.
“Careers in Sport provided a bespoke careers event for the sport and health sciences students at the University of Exeter. The event was a great success with over 300 undergraduate and postgraduate students in attendance. The range of speakers and exhibitors provided the students with a wealth of advice and support, and the students came away with work experience placement opportunities and a vibrant network of professionals to liaise with in the future.”
“As part of our induction week at the University of Gloucestershire, Careers In Sport organised a Careers Day for the School of Sport. The aim of the day was to introduce first year students to their programme of study, let them meet inspiring graduates in their field of study. There was also an opportunity to meet potential placement providers. Over 600 students attended the day and the feedback from students indicated that they found the day really inspirational as it provided insight to their course and future opportunities in the field.”
“Representatives and speakers from a range of sport organisations, national governing bodies and professional teams afforded careers advice, support and networking opportunities for the undergraduate Uiversity of Worcester students in attendance. A successful event!”
“The Careers in Sport event held at Plymouth Marjon University was fantastic for Marjon students to consider the career paths available and speak with organisation who are working and recruiting in the sector.”
“I am a third year honours student who is very close to becoming a graduate of Canterbury Christ Church University with a bachelor’s degree in Science (Sport and Exercise). The careers event was a fantastic opportunity for students to meet with talented professionals who have excelled in a diverse spectrum of fields. I was privileged to meet with successful professionals who work in the field of sports psychology, sports nutrition and sports therapies. The professionals were, without exception, passionate and committed to providing invaluable information from their extensive experience and knowledge of their respective areas. I found this experience enriched my career prospects and afforded me incredible insight to my options. It brought more possibilities to my attention which I had never previously considered. It was a very rewarding day and I spoke with some truly remarkable individuals who were each a credit to the event in both their professionalism and their genuine desire to share valuable advice and guidance. I would recommend this event in the highest regard as it was such a rewarding experience and was beneficial in so many respects.”
