I’m Sam Somers and I’m on the Applied
Sport and Exercise Science course in 4th year.
I’m David Boor, studying Applied Sport and
Exercise Science, 4th year.
I’m Katharine Corbett, 4th year Applied
Sport and Exercise Science.
I’ve always loved sport. In school I’ve
played rugby for Scotland and then I moved
to college and sports therapy and I have more
interest in the mechanics of it rather than
just being a part of it.
I chose RGU because I liked practical applications
of the course and I liked the idea of getting into labs
and getting hands on experience, opportunities of placements and things like that along side your studies.
I’m originally from Glasgow. I suppose the
nice thing about Aberdeen there’s almost
like a community feeling in the city. Glasgow
is pretty big and in a way friendlier, it’s
not the same as living in Aberdeen. Really
nice scenery, away from home but it doesn’t
feel away from home.
Definitely practical side of it and not just
being theory-based, you are able to practice
the stuff and put theory in practice in the
lab and working in the industry as well.
From my course I’ve managed to gain part-time
work experience at RGU SPORT and as part of that
I’ve got to apply to be a sports president
next year and I’m going to be next year’s
sports president for the university.
