UCFB and its Global Institute of Sport are delighted to continue their relationship with the League Managers Association (LMA) into the 2022/23 season.
Launched in 2015, the thriving partnership has enabled UCFB to bring leaders from the world of football to our Wembley and Etihad campuses to deliver exclusive guest speaker sessions to our undergraduate and postgraduate students.
The LMA is the collective, representative voice of all managers from the Premier League, the Sky Bet Championship, Sky Bet Leagues 1 and 2 and the FA Women's Super League and Championship.
Designed to give students an insight into the multi-billion pound football industry, the partnership will provide UCFB with unprecedented access to LMA Members in order to enhance curriculum programmes with their insights and experiences via live Q&As and filmed content.
In the past, the likes of England boss Gareth Southgate, Liverpool legend and Aston Villa manager Steven Gerrard, and former Lionesses manager Hope Powell, have all delivered sessions and offered advice to our students, who, in turn, get to learn from the very best in the industry.
With the 2022/23 football season already in full swing, plus the upcoming academic year about to kick-off, we are thrilled to confirm that notable football individuals will be at both our Wembley and Etihad campuses to meet students during induction week.
Commenting on the partnership, UCFB chairman Brendan Flood, said: “We are delighted to extend our ongoing relationship with the LMA.
“We hope to continue to create many opportunities for its members to share their skills and knowledge with our students. The LMA partnership adds real value to our degree programmes for continuing professional development within international sport and for the wider business marketplace.”
"If you're passionate about what you want to do, then go for it!" 💪
