Coming to Bath helped me find my voice and believe in that goal.' — Chelsea Lewis, BSc (Hons) Sport and Exercise Science with professional placement
'The combination of my studies, student leadership roles, and voluntary industry experiences has been instrumental in bridging the gap between university and the professional world.' Kevin Ciobanu, BSc (Hons) Sport Management and Coaching
