About Ucfb
UCFB is a world first in sports education, offering university degrees in the football and sports industry, in two inspirational campuses in London and Manchester, which have the iconic Wembley and Etihad stadiums at their heart.
Ucfb Description
Sport is worth billions of pounds all around the world. With increased TV revenues, marketing opportunities and ever-growing fan bases, never has there been more job opportunities in the industry.
UCFB, a world-first in higher education, trains and educates individuals for these roles. Taught in our unique campuses in and around the world-class Wembley Stadium, London, and the Etihad Stadium and Campus, Manchester, students become graduates and move on to first class employment within an industry they have a passion for. From day one, students are provided a truly inspirational setting to live and learn in.
We’re proud to say 92% of UCFB graduates are in full time employment, and two thirds of those work in the football and sport industries with bodies such as The Football Association, Manchester United, Stoke City, Opta and EDP Soccer in New Jersey.
We firmly believe there are three ingredients necessary for such a career: a degree, a network of contacts and a CV full of fantastic work placements. That’s why UCFB offers the whole package.
As well as learning from our band of experienced, industry based academics, students have the opportunity to apply for truly amazing work experience placements in the UK and abroad. Previous students have worked at football clubs in Brazil, the UEFA Champions League final and England international games at Wembley.
And thanks to our Employability and Enhancement Initiatives and Executive Guest Speaker Series, students get the weekly opportunity to hear from industry professionals, ask them questions and gain key contacts for their future careers. Speakers in recent months have included BBC presenter Gabby Logan, World Cup winner George Cohen, Liverpool legend turned Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher and former FA Communications Director Adrian Bevington.
As well as partnerships with the likes of The FA and League Managers Association, UCFB has also linked up with the Real Madrid Graduate School – Universidad Europea, the education arm of the 12 times European champions. The ground breaking partnership sees UCFB postgraduate students spend part of their year in the Spanish capital to further enhance their educational experience in a foreign market.
