University Campus of Football Business
The worldwide sports industry has a worth upwards of $700bn (US). In the EU alone it employs 1.7m people, and nearly a third of those work in the UK. None of these figures show any sign of slowing down, with new and emerging markets and sectors appearing on a regular basis.
The UCFB is the first higher education institution in the world dedicated to the delivery of university degrees in the football and sports industry. From marketing to coaching, media to finance and event management to hospitality, new roles, and new opportunities are consistently presenting themselves. The concept of UCFB was born from the idea of training and teaching ambitious and talented individuals with the knowledge, principles, and ideas to fill such roles.
