OUR PARTNERSHIPS
We’ve teamed up with a number of local sports clubs to create opportunities for many of our students, not just those studying sports-related courses. Here’s just a few examples: Manchester Storm ice hockey team provide opportunities for students studying all sorts of courses: Events Management students organise their events, Journalism students cover their matches and Sport Rehabilitation students work to get injured players back in shape. Lancashire County Cricket Club offer internships for our students each season, where they can take advantage of the club’s media centre to create content across its digital platforms. Sale Sharks Rugby Club has a unique partnership with us, as their coaches study MSc and PhD courses in our School of Health Sciences, whilst at the same time our students take on placements with them. We play a key part in pre- and post-season testing and management of the players alongside their medical staff, using our advanced research and testing facilities.
