Industry: University of Essex Student (2021)
Programme taken: Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Sports and Exercise Science (Top-up)
Previously, I was a national netball player who represented Singapore in two SEA Games, winning gold and silver; four Asian Netball Championships, winning two golds and one silver; one Netball World Cup and eight Nations Cup events.
My love for the sport has turned into my long-term ambition to teach at a local or international school.
In order to achieve this goal, I chose to pursue a Degree in Sports and Exercise Science with the University of Essex to enhance my skills, knowledge and competency as an educator. As a former full-time national netball player with Netball Singapore from 2010 until I retired in 2020, I also wanted to gain a deeper understanding about other sports.
The schedule at the University of Essex is great for the people who work, and the online learning class experience is good as it helps me save time travelling from work to school. The teaching is carried out step-by-step and a summary video is available for us to review after class.
I believe attaining this Degree will provide me with more options for my future career in sports performance.
