Why UCFB?

Our Model

 

We’re proud to be the first higher education institution in the world dedicated to the delivery of university degrees in the football and sports industries.

 

What makes our unique educational experience work so well is down to three key components: what we teach, where we teach and how we teach. We believe this approach gives you the best chance of a successful career upon graduation.

What We Teach

  • Our degree courses have been designed with these industries and their varied roles specifically in mind. Media, marketing, finance, psychology, coaching and event management, amongst others, are all sectors of these industries that are growing at a rate never seen before, with new roles being created on a daily basis.

Where We Teach

  • Our students benefit from unique learning and sporting environments to live and learn in, with state-of-the-art facilities in inspirational campuses in London and Manchester. On top of this, UCFB hosts groups of students for annual summits at our global hub situated at Inter Miami's Chase Stadium. Students on the Distance with Attendance degree option are able to study the majority of their course online with the option of either UK campus for the practical classes.

How We Teach

  • Studying at UCFB, you will have the opportunity to obtain the key ingredients for a successful career in professional football and sport. They are a degree, good references from a network of business contacts and a proven track record of work experience. Our goal at UCFB is to help create highly qualified, motivated and experienced graduates to drive these industries forward around the world.
