Feedback From Our Graduates
I have always been very active, playing hockey, tennis and any sport I could get my hands on. However, it wasn’t until University that I started going to the gym and even then, I didn’t really know what I was doing. I studied psychology at University and did a masters in sport and exercise psychology where I had modules looking at exercise for clinical populations. It was then that I decided this was an area that I really wanted to go into. I strongly believe that ‘exercise is medicine and if it were a pill, it would be prescribed to everyone’.
