Educational partnership between SAS Rugby and Setanta College
We are proud to announce our Educational partnership between SAS Rugby and Setanta College.
Setanta provides internationally recognised higher education programmes in human performance and sport science. Courses are available in a variety of areas including personal training, strength and conditioning and sport psychology.
Rugby players attending our 5-month SAS Rugby International Institute (SASRII) or Sevens Academy will receive course discount towards their study fees at Setanta during their time at SAS Rugby.
We believe this partnership will add value to the further development of our players, and is a good fit for players interested in educating themselves while attending our rugby programmes.
