Work Placements can involve weekends, holidays and evenings. The London Sport Institute has a number of links with professional sports organisations e.g. Tottenham Hotspur, London Wasps, Lee Valley, England Rugby Football Union, English Institute of Sport; each of which often take Masters students on work placements. These placements will be arranged by the tutor and may include an interview process. Students will have the opportunity to work with elite athletes within a professional organisation. Experienced performance analysts will show students their methods and valuable experience, which is paramount in elite sport, will be gained.
