Gain a degree in judo!

OK, so you're a martial arts enthusiast but all that's on offer at University are boring subjects like History or Astro-physics or Business studies. How you wish there was a degree in martial arts...

Dream no longer! Anglia Ruskin University is now offering a degree in judo accredited by the European Judo Union (EJU). But before you pack your gi clutching a single ticket to Cambridge you should know that Bob Challis, course leader, says that this degree will be open to only world class coaches, he says "We’ll have around 30 to 40 judo coaches from around the world here at Anglia Ruskin University. The degree will require coaches of the highest level."

Ho hum.

Well done PMY for finding this article.

Interesting, but really unacessible to us...

I like at least that the it is given some credence in a scholastic environment. It makes sense as well, considering Judo, like fencing, and wrestling are acceptable courses on high end colleges. Better at least, they are offering Coach's something to hang on the wall next to their degree in PE.
