Steve graduated in sports science in 1996 and in just two years was coming face to face with Olympic rowing legends Sir Steve Redgrave and Matthew Pinsent. “It was a steep learning curve,” he said. “One minute you are looking at journal articles or case studies and the next you have a legend like Steve Redgrave towering over you and asking if you can make them go faster.

Having finished my Sports Science undergraduate degree in 2006, I realised that in order to continue my education in the field I’d need to go on and do further postgraduate studies. However I took the decision to spend a few years in the workplace so I could clear some of the debts that all students seem to build up. Find out more about Arron Newble

Liam Horsfield, BA (Hons) International Travel Management 2010
“Since graduating from Brighton, I have moved to the Costa del Sol in Spain. I managed a busy local bar for the first year I was here and met my business partner in the process. We set up Altitude Pizzeria in December 2008 and have seen the business grow from strength to strength in a very difficult economic climate. Altitude is about to embark on another summer season here in Marbella. With our winter sales up 20% on last year, it looks to be a very promising year.”
