Nick Lumley
BSc Sport and Exercise Science (graduate)
Professional Strength and Conditioning Coach (Gloucester Rugby)
“After graduating it became clear that jobs in elite sport want an excellent undergraduate degree combined with significant work experience. It’s no coincidence that at present there are six top-flight professional rugby clubs in England and Wales who currently employ Bath graduates as strength and conditioning coaches. I have no doubt that this is the same across many other disciplines within sport, exercise and other aspects of science.
At Bath you learn about the scientific principles underlying both exercise and elite sporting performance. This strong scientific emphasis gave me the research skills which are integral to my career as a professional strength and conditioning coach. A Bath degree equips you with the transferable skills required to succeed in the discipline of your choice.”
