I had a first from Loughborough, I couldn&#8217;t get a job within the sport science industry and nobody would give me a chance at a job in another industry due to being overqualified.<\/li>\n<li>Other graduates struggled to get a job in the industry, especially if they didn&#8217;t have a network within a sport&#8217;s organisation. My friend from Stoke on the same course is a car salesman now, my friend from London is a photographer, my other friend from London is a teacher at a public school<\/li>\n<li>The Personal Training industry is hard to break into due to the number of qualified PTs. The barrier-to-entry isn&#8217;t there anymore due to all the courses you can do in months or even days<\/li>\n<li>Some lecturers were hard\/near impossible to contact<\/li>\n<li>Unforgivingly elitist at times. For example, I vividly recall my marathon runner friend being taunted brutally by the coach teaching us shot put. Love to see him run a marathon!<\/li>\n<li>Expensive, to the point of being a rip off at times. I didn&#8217;t go to the fresher or the graduation ball due to the expense &#8211; graduation ball was over \u00a3100 if I remember rightly. Also, each lecturer had their own book published and that was always the module text book &#8211; usually costing about \u00a330 a pop.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Before studying Sport Science at any university I would just advice people to have some kind of a plan, and a contingency plan when it comes to getting a job at the end of your studies.<\/p>\n<p>Post-Graduate depression is a real problem that nobody seems to want to talk about.<\/p>\n<p>Most universities just want your tuition fees and aren&#8217;t too fussed about what happens to you after graduation. It&#8217;s not their responsibility either; it&#8217;s yours &#8211; look at the job market and research career prospects before committing to any degree.<\/p>\n<p>On the plus side, a Sport Science degree from Loughborough will always command respect within the sport&#8217;s industry. If you can&#8217;t get a job with your Sport Science degree, use it to do a post-graduate qualification in something else.<\/p>\n<p>For example, I had a degree in Sport Science and an MSc in Nutrition, and couldn&#8217;t get a job &#8211; so I did a post graduate diploma (distance learning) in Digital Marketing; and managed to get a good job within a few weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Experience is essential when applying for any job, if you want to work in the sports-sector, do some voluntary work and\/or start your own business. For example, you could give pre-season nutrition talks to lower-league clubs for free, just to build up your CV.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>To summarise, it&#8217;s an excellent university and nationally renown, if not world-renown for the calibre of Sport Science graduates it produces each year. Just don&#8217;t be too disheartened if you can&#8217;t get a job straight away; the Sport Science industry is tricky to enter into if you don&#8217;t already had a foot in the proverbial door.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I wrote about my post-graduate job hunt <a href=\"http:\/\/careerfuel.net\/2012\/06\/learn-to-work-choose-your-education-wisely\/\">here on Careerfuel.net<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I also wrote about my issues with &#8216;post graduate&#8217; depression on my blog <a href=\"https:\/\/blackbeltwhitehat.com\/2018\/05\/26\/post-graduate-depression\/\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Did I mention Loughborough is awesome for sport?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackbeltwhitehat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/specoe.jpeg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"10446\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blackbeltwhitehat.com\/en\/2019\/07\/22\/loughborough-sport-science-review-bsc-sport-exercise-science\/specoe\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackbeltwhitehat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/specoe.jpeg?fit=1600%2C1066&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1600,1066\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"specoe\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackbeltwhitehat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/specoe.jpeg?fit=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-10446\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackbeltwhitehat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/specoe.jpeg?resize=640%2C426&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/school\/loughborough-university\/\"><small>Image Source<\/small><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please bear in mind that I graduated over ten years ago.
