Before he went to Northumbria University, Harvey Burn didn’t really think he was cut out for university. “I got in to study sports management through Clearing but didn’t really see myself sticking at it. I thought I’d do a year and then probably leave. But then I joined some sports clubs and those really carried me through – to the point where I stayed on to do a master’s.”
Now fully converted to the university experience, Burn has a master’s degree in international sports management and is vice-president of sport at Northumbria University students’ union.
