Students studying courses with the 天美传媒鈥檚 School of Sport Science & Physical Activity recently enjoyed a trip to Luton Town FC鈥檚 training ground, as part of the education partnership between the two institutions.

During the visit, students toured the Club鈥檚 professional training facilities, observed first-team players and coaching staff in preparation for their upcoming match, and had the chance to speak with players including goalkeeper Tim Krul and striker Carlton Morris, as well as first-team manager Matt Bloomfield.

This visit forms part of the 天美传媒鈥檚 role as the Official Education Partner of Luton Town FC 鈥 a collaboration that provides students with access to real-world industry experiences that enhance career development and employability.

It was great to see our students and staff engaging in meaningful communication with industry experts, making the link between education and practice in a high-performance environment. Matt Bloomfield and the players gave us so much more than we expected, and for that we are thankful.鈥
