Testimonials

Andrew Ibitoye

BSc (Hons) Sport Rehabilitation | 2018

"My ambition is to work in professional football, and the knowledge and skills I’m gaining at Bolton and the professional network the school has in place make that a real possibility.

The tutors are very supportive, my degree leads to a professional qualification valued by elite sports teams and the school has a growing reputation in the sector. So long as I put in the hard work, I have a real shot at the title!"

Tracy Lumer

Operations Manager, Sport and Active Living Service at Bolton Council |

"Working in partnership with the University Bolton provides an opportunity for us to give much needed valuable experience to students. By creating volunteering opportunities, students gain first hand experiences of working in a sport and physical activity development environment. When students are placed with us, they bring with them new experiences and ideas that give added value, not just to them, but to the Sport and Active Living Service. We have found that all the students that have been placed with us added real benefit to our day to day roles and support our shared agenda of reducing inactivity in communities. Both the students and the service really benefit from the work experience placements."
