We have a very good track record in terms of our graduates gaining suitable graduate employment in the sport and exercise employment sector. The applied focus of the degree is most useful when it comes to gaining employment. Previous graduates work in professional sports clubs and organizations as sports science support staff, others have gone into health promotion, sport management, and teaching amongst other areas. Many of our graduates have also gone on to do further study upon completion of their undergraduate program.
We are here to help you plan your future, make the most of your time at University, and to enhance your employability. We provide access to part-time jobs, and extra-curricular employability-enhancing workshops and offer practical one-to-one help with career planning, including help with CVs, applications, and mock interviews. We also deliver group sessions on career planning within each course and we have a wide range of extensive information covering graduate jobs and postgraduate study.
Students and graduates of the University of Chester can use our services free of charge for up to two years after graduating.
