Basketball player Greg shares what it’s like to study for a master’s in Business in the UK as a postgraduate student-athlete.
A 1,000-point scorer and Skidmore College’s all-time leading rebounder, Greg Skoric used our free recruitment service to continue his basketball and academic journey in the UK back in 2023.
For the past two years, he’s balanced a Business master’s at Nottingham Trent University with a successful playing career — helping his university team to division titles and making a major impact in the National Basketball League with the Nottingham Hoods.
As part of his studies, Greg completed an internship program with leading global companies including Beckman Coulter, Disney, and Speedo, gaining valuable professional experience.
Now nearing the end of his UK journey, he reflects on life as a student-athlete, how his degree has prepared him for life after basketball, and the incredible opportunities he’s had both on and off the court.
