To advance my rowing career I had to base myself in Cambridge and I knew of Massey's strength in distance education. I would not hesitate to promote the distance learning programme to anyone that has a significant other commitment that keeps them off campus.

This course also fits into my lifestyle by being fully available online and by doing it via distance, I can make the move to Germany to play, and keep up my studies. By the time my football career is over, I will have my degree.
