UCFB

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 industry. 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. Our degree programmes 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.

Our students benefit from unique learning and sporting environments to live and learn in, with state-of-the-art facilities in two inspirational campuses in London and Manchester, which have the iconic Wembley and Etihad stadiums at their heart.

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. On top of this, we’ve launched the UCFB Award in Football & Sports Leadership, an exclusive award that encompasses the additional qualifications and experiences that you can gain outside your degree programme. Our goal at UCFB is to help create highly qualified, motivated and experienced graduates to drive these industries forward across the globe.

At the University Campus of Football Business (UCFB) we pride ourselves on providing students with a stimulating curriculum in a unique environment. We believe our world first approach to higher education gives our students the best possible chance of a successful career in the football and sports industry. What makes our education experience work so well is down to three key components: what we teach, where we teach and how we teach.

Our degree programmes have been designed with these industries and their varied roles specifically in mind.

New roles are being created on a daily basis.

Our approach sees traditional subjects, such as business and finance, taught in a format that encompasses the student’s area of interest – football and sport. We find that students with a passion for these sectors are more inclined to be interested in the end of year financial reports of a Premier League club than those of, for example, a motoring company or bank. By creating this environment, we also believe it enables our students to form quick, lasting bonds with their peers due to similar interests inside and out of the classroom. Delivered to the high standards set by the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education, the skills and knowledge gained throughout the duration of a student’s degree programme at UCFB are transferable across sectors.
