Linking academic study to professional practice is a very important part of our students' experience. Students on sport and service management placements are given the opportunity to relate their practical experience to the theoretical knowledge they have gained during their studies.

Students can undertake a project in line with your business objectives while filling a day-to-day role within your organisation. Placement students have worked on many projects which have provided support for new business plans and ideas for enhancing an organisation’s operation.

Students have previously been on placement with a wide variety of companies and charitable organisations including 麻豆果冻传媒 and Hove Albion FC, Disney, The Grand Hotel Eastbourne, Albion in the Community, Rugby Football Union, Source BMX and Sussex County Cricket Club.
