Oasis, football, and a future in sport: Why Manchester is the ultimate student city

If you’re passionate about football and dreaming of a career in sport, there’s no better place to be than Manchester – and no better place to study than UCFB Manchester.

Home to two of the biggest football clubs in the world, Manchester lives and breathes the beautiful game. From Premier League matchdays at the Etihad and Old Trafford to grassroots action across the city, football is everywhere – and as a UCFB student, it’s at the centre of your university experience.

With state-of-the-art learning and event spaces across iconic venues like Quay Plaza at MediaCityUK, Belle Vue Sports Village and Old Trafford Football Stadium, you’ll be studying in the heart of the action.

And it’s not just football that makes Manchester the place to be. The city’s music scene is legendary – and this summer it’s reaching new heights with Oasis playing massive reunion shows at Heaton Park. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or just getting into it, there’s no better time to be here.

Culture-wise, there’s plenty to get stuck into. From the Manchester International Festival, to top-class food, street art, nightlife, and museums like the National Football Museum or the Science and Industry Museum – you’ll never be short of things to do between lectures.
