The teaching has been great throughout, and all lecturers have been incredibly supportive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have represented my fellow students as a Course Rep throughout my time and have really enjoyed the amazing sports on offer here. I\u2019ve represented UoG in both the University football and cricket teams, and I won the \u2018Rising Star\u2019 award at the Students\u2019 Union Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBecause of the great support and module experiences, I was able to have a successful placement with a professional football club based in Gloucestershire, Forest Green Rovers FC. I have learned a lot from the club, and I wrote my final year dissertation in partnership with both the club and Cheltenham Town FC, exploring branding and marketing approaches with fan behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"extra-pb\">\u201cThe guidance from the course team and the University as a whole has been amazing, and when I finish my studies I will begin a graduate role with Gloucester Rugby club as Customer Experience Executive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns extra-pb is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cmsr-web-assets.glos.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/129\/2024\/05\/28121236\/neal-osborn-4.jpg\" alt=\"Neal batting during a cricket match.\" class=\"wp-image-129000006541\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cmsr-web-assets.glos.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/129\/2024\/05\/28121240\/neil-osborn-1.jpg\" alt=\"Neal celebrates on the pitch with his team members.\" class=\"wp-image-129000006542\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-is-7-font-size\">Above right: \u00a9 Lily Dowdy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"acf-block acf-block--reference no-mt no-mb       \" style=\"border-color:#a5a2a2\">\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"columns is-flex is-vcentered is-marginless\">\n\t\t<div class=\"column is-narrow\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"reference-icon is-block\"\n\t\t\t\tstyle=\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdisplay:inline-block;\n\t\t\t\t\twidth:24px;\n\t\t\t\t\theight:24px;\n\t\t\t\t\tbackground-color:#1ca691;\n\t\t\t\t\tmask: url('https:\/\/www.glos.ac.uk\/courses\/wp-content\/themes\/glos--parent\/resources\/dist\/img\/icons\/reference\/link.svg') no-repeat center;\n\t\t\t\t\tmask-size: contain;\n\t\t\t\t\"\n\t\t\t\taria-label=\"link icon\"\n\t\t\t\ttitle=\"Reference is a link\"\n\t\t\t><\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"column\" style=\"color:#000!important\">\n\t\t\t\t<p><a href=\"https:\/\/static.glos.ac.uk\/study\/subjects\/sport-exercise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Discover UoG\u2019s sport &amp; exercise courses<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"author":79,"featured_media":129000006540,"template":"","tags":[],"cs_subjects":[850],"cs_levels_of_Study":[813],"schools":[],"class_list":["post-53766","case_study","type-case_study","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cs_subjects-sport-exercise","cs_levels_of_Study-undergraduate"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.glos.ac.uk\/courses\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/case_study\/53766","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.glos.ac.uk\/courses\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/case_study"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.glos.ac.uk\/courses\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/case_study"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.glos.ac.uk\/courses\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/79"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.glos.ac.uk\/courses\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.glos.ac.uk\/courses\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53766"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.glos.ac.uk\/courses\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53766"},{"taxonomy":"cs_subjects","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.glos.ac.uk\/courses\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cs_subjects?post=53766"},{"taxonomy":"cs_levels_of_Study","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.glos.ac.uk\/courses\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cs_levels_of_Study?post=53766"},{"taxonomy":"schools","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.glos.ac.uk\/courses\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/schools?post=53766"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
