ESSEX, ENGLAND - After a great career representing the Saint Peter's University Women's Soccer team, Victoria Scarratt '21 has accepted an offer to further her soccer career and education overseas.
In September, Victoria departed the U.S. and flew to the U.K. where she will be based for the next 12 months as she continues to play soccer whilst pursuing her master's degree.
After achieving multiple offers from various U.K. universities, Vitoria ultimately decided to accept an offer in Scotland to study her master's degree in the Psychology of Sport. During her time in Scotland, Victoria will be playing a further season of soccer for both her U.K. university team and a club team within the Scottish Football League system.
Over recent years, the U.K. has become a popular destination for former student-athletes as different eligibility rules permit students to compete alongside their graduate education.
The opportunity to play a further year of college sport first attracted Victoria to this opportunity, but there are a number of other benefits that impacted her decision to make the move to Scotland. Master's degrees in the U.K. take just 12 months to complete, tuition is typically cheaper and there is the potential for athletes to achieve scholarships.
Victoria was supported by U.K. based company Play Overseas when making her move to the U.K. Play Overseas provide a free service to graduating and former student-athletes, helping them to identify opportunities to further both their sporting career and education overseas.
Play Overseas are now recruiting student-athletes for the Fall 2022 intake. Any student that wishes to explore the possibility of playing a further year of college sport in the U.K. whilst pursuing a master's degree can register their interest via the following link:
