"It awarded me a chance to continue playing soccer at a high level following college...
For someone looking for a chance to learn, play, and obtain a master’s degree, the RIASA programme is for you. Through this program I was able to make lasting friends, travel all of Europe, and continue playing the game that I love."
Drew Sommer // RIASA Alumni, MA Sport Business // USSF National ‘B’ License Coach
"I’ve had three promotions in the space of 18 months...
I did a postgraduate course in marketing, here at Leeds Beckett. I worked in sports journalism, so I was already a good writer and I understood audiences, but marketing is very different. My diploma allowed me to facilitate a career change, but it also enabled me to progress in that career."
