Sporting partnerships
We boast excellent links with industry, associations and governing bodies of sport, and the very nature of these partnerships enhances the way in which our students will gain knowledge and engage in activities at the University. As we involve staff from our industry partners in lecture programmes, visits, work-based experience and other elements of delivery, our students will be able to develop the skills that are needed in the workplace.
Football partnerships
We have exciting partnerships with football clubs across the region and overseas, including Wycombe Wanderers FC, Brentford Football Club, Oxford City Football Club, Reading Football Club, and Ocean City Barons in the USA.
UCFB, a joint initiative between Bucks and Burnley Football Club in Lancashire, has also been set up dedicated to the study of the football industry.
