I chose Oaklands because it allowed me to do a course that supported my future without compromising my training. 
I really like the way BTECs are laid out. I prefer assignment work to exams as it allows me to get continuous feedback on my work. The sport tutors are very supportive and helped me endlessly throughout my 2 years on the sport science course. Although there are still exams I like that they are separated so there is less pressure and it makes it easier to manage studying.
