UCFB provides an exceptional environment 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.

For Master’s programmes, UCFB’s Global Institute of Sport (GIS) offers a ground-breaking Master’s degree portfolio utilising a global network of industry leaders and its elite stadium venues in the UK, US, Canada and Australia.

UCFB also have a number of partnerships with some of the leading names in sport, including The Football Association, League Managers Association, Watford FC, The National League, Rugby Football League and Hashtag United, giving students access to some of the biggest and best minds in football and sport.

Over 90% of graduates are in employment within six months of graduating, with two-thirds of those working within the football and sports industry. For Master’s graduates, 92% are in employment within six months of graduating, with 82% of those working in football and sport. Our graduates work at the likes of The Football Association, Manchester United, The Rugby Football League and EDP Soccer in the US.

UCFB's International License is currently being reviewed which means at this moment we are unable to accept international applications that require a Student Visa to study in the UK. Once the review is finalised and we have a definitive outcome, all students who’ve expressed an interest in studying at UCFB will be notified.

However, UCFB has a range of online degrees available to International students. Click here to find out more.

UCFB has partnered with Unite Students at both the Wembley and Etihad campuses to ensure students have access to comfortable and secure accommodation close to both campuses. Arch View House at First Way, Wembley and Mill Point, Manchester, are available for students studying at UCFB.
