I was doing a BSc Business Administration course at the University of the Aegean. As well as this, I had worked across different industries in Greece within international environments and volunteered around Europe and Brazil in various projects and events.

I chose Loughborough University London due to its reputation for sports being top notch. As well as this, studying Sport Business in London helps you staying close with related events/conferences and sport activities.

The University offered lots of opportunities for us to be engaged with and made us feel so comfortable from the first weeks of the term.

I did a lot of research! I also spoke to a lot of people from the sports industy who encouraged me to apply to Loughborough University London. 

The programme I studied combined my top two areas of passion – business and sports.

I loved the practicality of my course and how it relates to the real world. As well as this, we have had numerous opportunities to connect with industries. In particular, what is really special about all programmes is that students have come from all over the globe!

Postgraduate study involves being surrounded by people who may already possess relevant experience and this creates another valuable aspect during the studies.

My day consisted of around 4-5 hours of lectures, seminars or tutorials and then several hours in the library studying and reading. This may sound like a lot but it was a great way to meet people and socialise.

I hope to see myself working in the sports industry, influencing and making a real difference in sport. 

I like to get involved with sporting activities, such as beach volleyball, football, attending matches and visiting different stadiums.

My advice is to engage with as many opportunities the University has to offer as possible. By doing this, you will meet amazing people and never want this experience to end.
