Triple Distinction Success for Sport & Exercise Science Students

Seventeen York College students (out of a group of eighteen) studying for a National Diploma in Sport and Exercise Science have excelled themselves and achieved triple distinction grades (equivalent to 3 As at A Level). They have all achieved their personal aims of qualifiying for university places in subjects ranging from Sport to Law.

Says former Canon Lee school student Matt Noble: We bonded well as a group and this really aided our learning. The course covered a wide variety of topics which were linked to practical skills. It was coursework based, which is different to A Levels. The staff support has been great and this type of learning has really suited me. I have enjoyed the course and I am pleased that everyone in the group has achieved excellent results. I am now looking forward to studying Applied Sport & Exercise Science at Northumbria University in September.”

Says course tutor, Adam Gledhill: “From the very start the students embraced the course and promoted a strong work ethic in the group. They had drive and an interest in the subject which complemented their work. They all get on well together and their success speaks volumes. I am actually lost for words to describe how proud I and the rest of the Sports team are of them.”
