Student Profiles

John Mollart, Sports & Exercise Science, Birmingham

What are the sporting facilities like?

Sports facilities are fantastic, compared with home, it’s on a different level. My main discipline is power lifting, and they’ve got a dedicated weight room here. Where as back home, it’s all over the place. Here, they’ve got their own priorities set right, and with the facilities for rugby, football and all the other ones, it’s really available to all different people.

What are the academic facilities like?

The library’s really easy to use, the journals especially are really accessible, especially with the online facilities, with all the journals online, they’re really easy to get on with. The hardback copies are really easy to find as well.

What is the department like?

The department’s fantastic, it’s won quite a few awards recently. I think last year it was voted the top one for student satisfaction. It’s a very, very good department.
