Foundation Degree in Health Related Fitness

Sarah studied the Foundation Degree in Health Related Fitness programme. Originally coming to college to do a level 3 course, full-time mum Sarah decided to stay on and make the transitions into higher education. The course has been challenging for Sarah balancing her family life with the course work, but she believes it will be a great benefit to her career plans. “I’ve really enjoyed learning more about health, fitness and the lifestyle choices that people make and how it affects their bodies. It has been a juggling act at times with the course work and my children, but its been a great experience.” |
