How will I learn on this module?
This module is focused on you gaining experience with the sport industry using a variety of professional development opportunities to suit your own needs; including, but not limited to: work-based experience, shadowing professionals, attending workshops/course/conferences, and careers events. Therefore much of the learning on this module takes place away from the classroom and out in the sport industry.
However to supplement this there are also a number of more traditional taught sessions which take place on the module to ensure that you are given the academic underpinning in areas such as employability, professional development and reflection. Students are also expected to use content from other modules on their programme to enhance your learning and encourage the application of theory to practice. In addition this will all be supported by a number of small group and 1-1 tutorials designed to support you as an individual in developing your career goals and aspirations

How will I be supported academically on this module?
