About
The Premier League
In 2024, University Campus of Football Business and the Premier League collaborated to provide education pathways for academy graduates.
The aim of the collaborative programme is to ensure Academy graduates, whether they become a professional footballer or pursue an alternative career path, are equipped with the skills necessary to thrive in their chosen field.
As part of the collaboration, UCFB are providing scholarships to Premier League academy graduates who have departed their academy in the last three years.

Player Pathways
This effort between UCFB and the Premier League highlights a mutual dedication to fostering tomorrow’s leaders within the football community while championing diversity and inclusivity in the sport.
The initiative is part of the Premier League’s commitment to providing support and pathways to players beyond the academy system, as part of their holistic development on and off the pitch.
