Masato Takeshita, Student at ShaTin College, Hong Kong

“The Career Related Studies in International Sport Management (CRS, ISM) is really the perfect combination of me passion for sport and my interest in business. I have a big sporting background and I naturally took this course to learn more about international sport management, but also because it gives me a competitive advantage when applying for universities.”

Chris Arthur OLY, Olympian and Head of Athlete Life at Sport New Zealan

“Athletes benefit from being part of the school environment, interacting with other students and learning with their peers. They bring all their training mindset, focus and resilience to inspire and motivate the other students. The school culture is enriched and teachers and students all benefit. The support for schools to grow their knowledge and understanding of what elite athletes need is very important and helps schools think about why their current policies and procedures have been set up and how they might change. The opportunity to have supportive independent advice and feedback for a school’s operations is valuable and rare. Schools want their students to succeed, and that is what the AFEC project is all about.”

“I am really thankful for being part of the student community at the University of London. Studying the PGcert International Sport Management has opened up new interests and knowledge, viewing alpine skiing from a different prospective, regarding the management and how the system works from the base of the pyramid. 

Studying at the PGcert helped me out at the management of my local town Ski resort, giving new ideas and helping them to increase the interest of the Greek ski Community.

Studying independently is challenging but helped me to combine studying at PGcert, working as an alpine ski coach and having productive family time.

A big thank you to the Bursary from the World academy of Sport and Hellenic Winter Sport Federation for giving me the opportunity to be part of University of London community and for assisting me with my acceptance as a student threw the scholarship path.”
