UEL student Amy Thomason in action

University of East London (UEL) student Amy Thomason is training to compete in the European Universities Karate Championship in Spain.

Amy, the current UK karate champion is busy finishing her final year dissertation for her Media and Creative Industries degree while also being an active member of the Great Britain University Team and representing England in karate.

Once Amy has completed her degree, she hopes to combine her love of sport with her media degree by becoming a sports writer. And with the London 2012 Games fast approaching, there will be plenty of opportunities for her to practise her skills.
