Final project work is well and truly underway and my group
and I are looking to consolidate a topic pertaining to the ‘integrity of sport’, particularly focusing on the current hot topic of match-fixing. We strongly believe this a highly relevant
issue which needs significant attention in order to maintain the purity of sport for future
generations to come.

Bonjour Switzerland!
Module 3 of the 12th edition of the FIFA Master program commenced
a fortnight ago in wet and chilly Neuchatel.
Whilst the days have been long, the program for the next couple of
months showcases field visits to FIFA, UEFA, IOC, UCI, IMG, FEI, MSI, OSC and Sauber
which has kept spirits high in anticipation.
As far as living conditions are concerned, as expected everything in Switzerland is very expensive and the class
is resigned to the fact that 2-minute noodles will be the staple diet for the
remaining course duration.

FIFA MA Module 2 - Milan
Time has definitely flown since the Humanities Module wrapped up in Leicester back at the end of December. Securing an internship with the Leicester Tigers Rugby organisation kept me well and truly busy during the final month of the first module. A whirlwind adventure back home to Sydney for a fortnight over Christmas wasn't in the plan but I managed to fit it in between modules and had a great time spending it with family.
Have been in Milan for 3 weeks now and still attempting to 'get up to speed' with the language and different culture as quickly as possible. Spent a day at Vero Volley yesterday listening to a number of presentations regarding volleyball in Italy. Was very interesting to hear from the Head Coach of the national women's team. Also managed to get along to the San Siro not once but twice in the first fortnight living in the country. Watched the 'Derby' between Inter and AC Milan. Inter Milan also kindly hosted us during their game against Genoa which included dinner in their executive suite.
Whilst the FIFA MA program itself has continued to increase in intensity, studying in Italy during a recession certainly has its positives with coffee and food being so cheap! I think the entire class is resigned to the fact that this will be different when the program shifts to Neuchatel, Switzerland in April and for that we are taking full advantage while we can.
