STUDENT TESTIMONIALS

REN THOMPSONCommunications Coordinator, PowerNET IT Solutions (2017 2nd year student)

The degree has given me the opportunity to develop the skills and abilities to enter the thriving sports media industry. From being able to write match reports and feature articles, the skills to create social media strategies, and the ability to produce sport video programs. I am confident upon graduation I will be able to secure a career in this exciting and competitive industry. Along the way I have met some lifelong mates and can’t wait to see what the future holds for us all.

BEN GIBSON(2017 2nd year student)

I currently work part time for AFL Media, Champion Data and the Melbourne Football Club. These experiences allow me to interview AFL players and write articles about the sport I love. Thankfully, the skills I have developed in the Sports Media Degree have equipped me to complete tasks and duties at a high standard, and I’m really comfortable that upon graduating I’ll be able to transition seamlessly into full time employment in the sports industry.

The Bachelor of Sports Media has been incredibly engaging so far. The more in depth we progress, the more excited I become. Holmesglen have been a huge support through my football journey, and even in such a short time have assisted me with important skills to effectively deal with the media side with my football career. I am really looking forward to the internship at the end of the course as I have only heard great things about it.

MITCH WYND(2017 3rd year student)

My time studying the Bachelor of Sports Media has been among the most enjoyable and fulfilling periods of my life. Learning the ins and outs of sports media across journalism, PR, and business categories from industry professionals prepares us for almost any role, however doesn’t narrow us down to a single field. The opportunity to intern within the AFL Victoria Media & Communications Department has exposed me to the inner workings of a leading state sporting organisation, and prepared me well for a future career in sport.

BRYCE EISHOLDJournalist, Latrobe Valley Express (2016 graduate)

The Bachelor of Sports Media provides a modern and thorough perspective on the sports media industry. The course provides enormous opportunities for industry engagement, both at a practical and theory-based level. We were given countless opportunities to partake in practical work-related opportunities including attending AFL press conferences, tours of media outlets including The Age and Channel 9, and the six-week industry internship towards the conclusion of the course. I completed my internship with Leader Newspapers, working on a number of mastheads, covering both news and sport. Since completing the Bachelor of Sports Media at Holmesmglen, I have secured full-time employment as a cadet journalist at the Latrobe Valley Express. I commenced the role less than a month after finishing the degree and now cover a range of issues.

THESE FOUR PILLARS HIGHLIGHT OUR UNIQUE POINT OF DIFFERENCE ENSURING HOLMESGLEN SPORTS DEGREES GRADUATES ARE INDUSTRY PREFERRED.

Our clubs are delighted to get a team of students to take on specific projects in social media, marketing and sponsorship. The work is of high quality and used in bona fide sales meetings and communication channels. This has created many mutual benefits.

The internship program has been very beneficial for our organisation, often needing to wear many hats and desperate for additional resources. We have also been happy to provide references for students moving into the work force.

Engagement with industry provides students with practical experience plus an established network of contacts to foster and benefit from into the future. Overall, our partnership with the Holmesglen Bachelor of Sport degrees has been comprehensive and successful on every level.

@HgSportsDegrees 3

The student experience, provision of industry opportunities and teaching is the central focus of our delivery methodology. We have smaller and more intimate classes, which ensures our students establish stronger relationships with each other in addition to the academic team.

Industry partners play an integral role in the design and structure of our courses. We routinely engage with industry to ensure the curriculum focus and skills being developed meets the needs of industry. In addition, there are a significant number of guest speakers who provide industry insight along with regular field trips. Further, our academic team consists of staff with both extensive industry experience and current industry professionals.

Our students work with real sports organisations in a consultancy capacity to develop a range of important strategy documents to assist the partners. Importantly, this process assists in expediting the development of important skills, both technical and professional, to ensure our students are well prepared for their internships, and further afield, to transition seamlessly into the workforce upon graduating.

Our internship program has been a huge success. Students complete an extensive internship (228 hours, which is significantly longer than the average internship) with one of our leading industry internship partners such as Fox Footy, Herald Sun, Hawthorn Football Club, Melbourne Stars, Melbourne United, AFL Victoria, Cricket Victoria and Basketball Victoria.

ALEXIE BEOVICHMarketing & Communications Assistant, Hockey Australia (2016 Most Outstanding Holmesglen Higher Education Student, & 2016 graduate)

The Sports Media degree allowed me to work with leading sports organisations including Basketball Victoria, Hawthorn Football Club and Cricket Victoria to produce effective, real-world outcomes. These opportunities mean Holmesglen Sports Degrees students entering the job market have an advantage on the competition.

I have been able to secure a full-time role as the Marketing and Communications Assistant at Hockey Australia. The role sees me working

with a small team producing marketing plans for major events like the Oceania Cup or the Commonwealth Games as well as running social media accounts for major sporting organisations. I already feel comfortable in the role and I attribute a lot of that to my experiences at Holmesglen. Without the learning, opportunities and experiences at Holmesglen, I wouldn’t have learned the skills to transition into full-time employment with a leading national sports organisation.

KATE WITHERSSports Journalist, Latrobe Valley Express. (2016 Most Outstanding Holmesglen Higher Education Finalist, & 2016 graduate)

After completing my bachelor of journalism at another institution I left feeling as though I had a lot more to learn and wasn’t prepared to enter the workforce. My time at Holmesglen studying the Bachelor of Sports Media filled me with all the confidence, and practical and theoretical knowledge, needed to secure full-time industry work. The real-world learning opportunities on offer set this course apart from the rest and I wouldn’t be where I am today without the help of my peers and all the teaching staff at Holmesglen.

JAMES MOTTERSHEADEditorial Assistant, Herald Sun (2017 3rd year student)

The Bachelor of Sports Media is a perfect combination of hands-on industry experience and theory work, which leads to real-world outcomes while acquiring new skills. Having an opportunity to complete a 230-hour internship at Cricket Victoria, a 120-hour internship at the VAFA and spend three weeks at the Herald Sun has only added to the experience. While at the Herald Sun I had the great privilege of having 13 articles published. My appointment at the Herald Sun is a testament to the course. This course changed my life.

JAKE MARNIE(2017 2nd year student)

Studying at Holmesglen has given me so many more opportunities than my previous studies at a different university. I am just about to complete my second year and already I have been able to work with a Premier Victorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA) club assisting with their social media, marketing and sponsorship. Holmesglen was also able to secure me a volunteer role at the VAFA working alongside their General Manager Commercial where I have gained some invaluable sponsorship and marketing experience.
