BA (Hons) Football Studies

If you have a passion for the beautiful game and are keen to work within the industry, this broad-based course explores three key areas of football - business, coaching and development – to give you exciting options in your future career direction.

Football is one of the most important industries in the UK in terms of interest, participation and consumer spending, and its rapid growth has created opportunities to become a sports professional in an expanding, borderless industry. This course is designed to give you a wide knowledge base, starting with more general spheres such as sport and physical activity; sport management; and working in sport as well as an overview of the football industry and contemporary issues in football.

From your second year, you can choose specialist units focused on building your knowledge and skills in football coaching; business and management; and football and player development.
