UCFB

It was good, was a varied amount of things you could get upto and involved in, it's not the biggest uni in the UK but it supplied with options to go and meet new people The accommodation is good and worth it for the price, they help you get settled in and try help the best they can at the best options for you Top of the art facilities especially as it being a sport based university they have many teams and facilities available for you to access They were always engaging and tutors tried to make learning fun the best they could, it packed a lot of information in but it focused on the main parts needed to get your grades Manchester is great, love the city, there's so much to do and see and the nightlife is the best

Very professional, organised and alot of freedom on how to spebdcand plan time.

The Complimentary Curriculum offered by UCFB was the best part about being here, as I studied a topic I am passionate about in a Campus that is genuinely part of the industry. I was able to get to know industry professionals and had several work experience opportunities that were incredibly interesting and have given me some great stuff to add to my CV. Another positive of my time there is how they taught us; they also gave us a very personal experience, getting to know and help each of us as individuals.

Amazing. it was interesting if I'm honest. Their amazing, I can concentrate in there and I just feel like home. As much as the lectures are long but they are interesting and it's good to get more information. It's different because not everyone is like me but I'm used to it. It's the same as a level or btec but more content so you don't have to worry or stress. I promise you just work hard and you'll be fine

I have just finished my first year studying The Football Business and Media degree at UCFB Wembley, and have had a brilliant year. This university is different to many others mainly due to its campus location being the iconic Wembley Stadium. I viewed many universities before deciding which one was right for me, and UCFB stood out the most. The lecturers here are great and I really feel like each of them know everyone that studies here very well due to the university being brand new and a lot smaller than others, it means the support that we are all given is a lot more personal and motivates me more.

This first year has gone extremely fast and I can’t imagine what the next two will be like, it’s something I’m looking forward to massively. The people I’ve met here have been great and the whole experience has built my confidence and changed me into a more career driven person. My CV has also grown massively since I’ve been here, adding football clubs such as Woking and Tottenham Hotspur.

In regards to working and CV skills, getting a job here I found very easy. UCFB helped me get a job within Wembley Stadium working for Club Wembley where I work on Match days and stadium events, as well as around them.

Not only do you get some fantastic opportunities here at UCFB, you also get to meet and network with some inspiring people from the industry, such as Greg Dyke, Gabby Logan, Martin Tyler and many more. The first few weeks I started UCFB I was lucky enough to attend the NFL Sports Management conference where I was able to network first hand and have more of an idea what to expect within the industry when I’m older.

In regards to the social aspect, UCFB has supported the student union team in new ideas and events that us students have and want to go on, being in London helps a lot as it’s the capital city, where there is always something to do, there’s never a day to get bored.

Overall I have had a great first year here at UCFB Wembley, and am looking forward to the next two. Being a girl here at UCF

Having just completed my first year at UCFB Wembley studying football business and marketing, I couldn't be more thankful for the endless opportunities that have been offered in the last eight months. This along with the leading team of academics have made my transition to University life easier then ever imagined.

From a course prospective we have already covered a great deal of topics regarding brand loyalty, consumer behaviour, marketing in sport, football/sport as a business, marketing communications and in addition the required assignments and presentations we have been able to take part in some great workshops to develop that knowledge further.

Additional qualifications and masterclasses available to students are led by world-leading industry professionals and are a great portfolio piece for when we graduate. This along with being able to network with these key personnel gives us a huge opportunity to break into the industry ourselves.

Additional courses I have taken this year include:
Stadium and Events Management Masterclass
Essentials in Public Speaking Masterclass
Marketing Communications Masterclass
The Management Game
Aim Higher Study Skills
All of these add more to everything we are learning degree based and the access to industry professionals I feel is unique to UCFB.

Regarding access to industry professionals I have thoroughly enjoyed our guest speaker series this year. With professionals such as Greg Dyke, Steve McManaman, Gabby Logan and Martin Tyler coming in and giving time to speak about their careers, the challenges they face, how they got to where they are is a great incentive for us to do well and having been able to network with them following these sessions has allowed me to create a fantastic connection database already.

I have also been fortunate to take part in some great internship opportunities that have been offered by UCFB. I am currently researching many different environmental options to put to the board at Wembley Stadiums Green Team (the eco team that look

At UCFB football really is the business. As a student at university you want opportunities and exposure and at UCFB you get that.

I'm a first year student in Wembley and have had amazing work experience including 8 days in St Georges Park working with The FA and UEFA during a UEFA U17 tournament. I was Sweden U17's team Liason officer and had the most amazing experience.
There are so many chances and opportunities that constantly get sent to us as students whether it's event management work during an event at Wembley to having days out at media stations such as talk sport where I recieved media training (and I'm not a media student but still got the offer)

We have the best networking opportunities with top industry guest speakers. We have a great lectures and support networks in place ensuring the best academics and support.

Being in Wembley where The FA are based you never know who you will bump into and who knows, that person could be taking you on for roles or even interviewing you.
As students we've even played on the Wembley pitch with the full match experience and that was something!

We have good social activities and a supportive student union. My fellow students all appreciate where we are and what we can achieve.
I wouldn't want to be anywhere else!

I have recently just completed my first year of studying Football Business and Marketing at UCFB Wembley, and can't begin to describe how much of an incredible year i have had and how fast the year has gone. I have met some absolutely fantastic students, and as well as this, some great lectures, who have done nothing but give me confidence and supported me and others when we have needed it through this first year.

UCFB have give many students the opportunity to not only meet some of the most respected people in all areas of sport, but have also given some fantastic opportunities to enhance your CV and also learn new skills. This along with some fantastic guest speakers such as Martin Tyler, Greg Dyke, Steve McManaman, Gabby Logan and so many more have made this academic year a great success for me and so many others.

Along with the fantastic academic side, UCFB has also been incredible for different events that a fantastic team from the Student Union has put on. Being in London has ment that we have had some memorable nights out, but as well some days out to do and see different things. We have been on trips to Cheltenham races, trips up The Shard, go-karting, white water rafting and so many more.

All in all I believe my first year has been incredible and an experience i think others should definitely have.

The internship programme at UCFB is incredible with the business school, and the university enabled me to become UCFB ambassadors at various open days and award dinners. These turned out to be so useful and allowed me to network with experts in the sports industry and then go on to do a very successful internship. Because football is such a big industry, we had a lot to learn, but the lecturers were incredibly supportive and had time for us - maybe because there weren't many of us.

I had the most wonderful experience in my 3 years here, as I had some incredible work opportunities and got so much support from the academic staff and student services team. As long as you put the work in, you'll have numerous chances to get paid and unpaid placements; the staff really push you to succeed and build up your contacts from the first day at UCFB. By the end of your degree, you'll have all the knowledge and contacts you need to get a really great career in the industry.
