Premier events give students an opportunity to hear from and network with leading professionals from the world of sport and business.
Held at iconic venues such as Wembley stadium, Old Trafford, Etihad stadium and St George’s Park, these events give our students insights and experiences to help them on their journey to realising their dreams. Expect to hear from Premier League Managers, sports executives from our global sports network and a host of employers looking for the next generation of talent to join them!
Premier Events offer our students more knowledge and opportunity within their chosen area of the sports industry.
The events bring our students together with executive guest speakers, as well as UCFB alumni and further industry experts.
In addition, the events allow students to network with potential future employers from their sports industry sector.
These employers have included Sky Sports, West Ham United, JD, the BBC as well as both Manchester United and Manchester City.
Held at both our Wembley and Manchester campuses in November and December, there are a number of events for each campus including:
- Sports Coaching and Performance
- Sports Media and Communications
- Sports Business and Management
- Your Next Steps: Graduate Careers Day
Some of the guest speakers our students were able to network with thanks to these events include:
- Football commentating legend Martin Tyler
- Former Premier League player Sol Bamba
- Sky Sports News presenter Clare Tomlinson
- Founder of AFTV Robbie Lyle
- CEO of Luton Town Gary Sweet
- Sky Sports commentator Gary Taphouse
- Arsenal WFC academy manager James Honeyman
