Programme

Victor chose to study Sport Business and Innovation due to Loughborough's number 1 sport ranking.

Prior to studying his master's degree, Victor was studying a BSc in Sport Science between Spain and the US. 

Why did you choose to study at Loughborough University London?

I chose to study at Loughborough University London because it is the number 1 university in the world for sports related subjects, according to QS Ranking 2019. London is also a global city so I thought I would be able to get involved with a wide range of opportunities. 

What do you enjoy the most about your course/ Loughborough University London?

I would say the Collaborative Project module because I was able to work with Chelsea FC on a brief. I was also able to connect with top leaders within the sport business industry. 

I have also enjoyed the Loughborough Enterprise Network that Loughborough University London offers. With this, I have been able to get involved with a number of entrepreneurial events, allowing me to grow my network. 

Describe a day in the life of a postgraduate student on your course

My day consists of going onto campus to attend my lectures and see my friends. I also work on any assignments I have. After spending time on campus and doing university work, I socialise with my friends, do some exercise or go to Westfield for dinner, cinema or shopping. 

How do you like to spend your time away from your studies?

I enjoy attending music events, travelling around the world, playing sport, meeting new people and trying things I have never done before. 

If you could give one piece of advice to a postgraduate student, what would it be?

Be open-minded! Get out of your comfort zone and attend conferences, meet new people and try new things.
