sport and exercise science

[aimeepearce]

am in my final year of a sport and exercise science degree and wondered if anyone has a similar degree, what job routes they went after uni. does anyone know of any graduate employers for SES graduates?

I find it slightly worrying that someone should get to the final year of a degree course and be unaware of the relevant professional body (which has all of the information you're seeking). It's still not too late - see the BASES website here:

Those that have more money than sense

A lot of professional gyms, health clubs and hotels incorporating leisure/health clubs need personal trainers but you may find yourself working some rather unsocial hours, including week-ends, or doing split shifts.. Alternatively you could go freelance as a personal trainer. . Other opportunities include coaches for local football & rugby clubs

Hi, I would recomend the website www.leisureopportunities.net which includes info on all sorts of jobs in the leisure / sport industry. Alternatively, if you are interested in one particular sport why not contact the governing body directly to see if they will take you on for work experience for a few weeks in sport development or their competitions department for example - that is often the best way into a job there. There are also a lot of coaching jobs around at the moment which should be advertised on the above website. Good luck

hey! i just finished a sports therapy degree this summer.... im not working in an office for 12 months to get some money together! lol. i actually want to train as a paramedic which is what i plan on doing next year but i was told that i could go on to do physiotherapy, coaching (that also applies to your course...), if u would like to teach sports you could do a pgce which generally take a year.There are a number of options.... the best thing would be to speak to your personal tutor or a tutor who has the knowledge and understanding......
