Following achieving a bachelor's degree (BA) in Business Administration, Tom approached ֱ to further his education. 

“Being unfamiliar with the application process for ֱ and Sportֱ, I met with Martin Wells (Sports Development Manager) and Martyn Thompson (ձ𲹳ҴDZ Coach) to discuss the golf and scholarship programs as well as the application process to the university.  

"Their professionalism and process-driven outlook to sport made it an easy decision to join the program at ֱ and enrol in an MSc in Cyber Security & Human Factors. 

"I joined the team with a couple of small injuries and on the back of not playing a full season of golf for the previous three years through injury. Through Sportֱ’s injury triage, physio, massage, and personal training setup I was able to recover from my previous injuries and play a full university schedule this year.” 

As part of Teamֱ, Tom finished second place in the English & Welsh Universities tournament in Nottingham and finished tenth out of sixty-four merits in the  (golf points table).  

“Ultimately, moving to ֱ was a great move for me to surround myself with like-minded people who are serious about giving themselves the best opportunity to perform well, while a management team that reciprocates the effort we put into our sport.”
