[ADVERT] PSB Academy: Diploma in Sports & Exercise Science

At different points in our lives, we are faced with a need to decide where/ what to study, and it can really be a pain when there are so many options to choose from. I've had a similar dilemma after my 'A' levels - I had too many interests that I wanted to pursue I couldn't settle on one without feeling reluctant letting go of the others. Some of the courses I had in mind were Tourism & Hospitality, Optometry, Dance, Sports Science, Psychology (which I eventually picked) and Fine Arts, but not all of these were applicable to 'A' level certificate holders because of certain specific pre-requisites.

I haven't mentioned this to anyone, but till now, I still have the urge to learn more about Sports Science because I have always been a very active person since Primary school. I'm glad to know PSB Academy offers such a programme (amongst many others) to understand more about health and fitness - and it is applicable to almost everyone!
