My time at University College Birmingham prepared me for my future by further opening my eyes to the dynamic world of business as it related to the international sports industry, as well as giving me key knowledge and theory to be used in the world of work. Completing my degree allowed me to develop my critical thinking and creativity, as well as my self- confidence.
