Sport and Exercise Science
Internships
The Department has recently started to develop a range of internship opportunities for final year and MSc students who wish to gain experience of working within professional organisations. Each year DSES offers a number of internships which include both ‘sport and exercise science’ and ‘sports development’ opportunities for students to apply, and be interviewed for. Some of the internship partnerships include: Portsmouth Football Club, Southampton Football Club, Bournemouth Football Club, Aldershot Football Club, Middlesex County Cricket Club, Surrey Ladies Golf Association, Sport Hampshire and Isle of Wight, Hampshire Football Association, Parkwood Leisure, England Volleyball, England Badminton, and University of Portsmouth Sport and Recreation. Following successful applications, students tend to spend between 3-9 months working in the organisation. For more detailed commentary on the internships, and the student’s reflections please refer to our latest news section.
We are also in the process of developing further internship opportunities to cater for undergraduate Sport and Exercise Science and Sports Development students, and postgraduate Sports Performance and Clinical Exercise Science students.
