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

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!

The staff were incredibly open to speaking to us and answering our questions, which was really supportive. Both the lecturers and pastoral staff helped with academic and personal issues, which was lovely of them. The Complimentary Curriculum gave me valuable experience in the sports industry, as it gave me the chance to get work placements and meet experts in the field of of Sport and Sport Business. Obviously there were small issues, just because we were the first year of students, but the staff did so much to help us solve them and it was great being a part of the UCFB family.

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 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

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.

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.

I graduated from UCFB in July 2014, after spending 3 years as part of the inaugural UCFB class at Turf Moor stadium in Burnley. Before I applied for UCFB I had no ambition to attend university, and very little prospects entering the world of work aged 18. Almost 4 years later, I find myself 2 months into my second job as a graduate, writing this review from the USA. I studied the Football Business and Media course, which encapsulated all aspects of a traditional business degree course and related every module, assignment and exam to my passion: football. I was party to fantastic guest speakers and lecturers, including Match of the Day pundit Mark Lawrenson, ex-Liverpool player turned Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher, professional football agent Skye Andrews amongst a host of other incredible industry professionals. The setting of the university - in one of the oldest professional football stadia in the world - was a major drawing point for me, offering me a location and course that I knew I would remain fully committed to along with learning so much about football as an industry instead of as a spectators sport. The university sets you up with a fantastic platform to network in, with regular work experience and internship opportunities at excellent companies. During my time at UCFB, I secured placements with the BBC on 2 separate occasions; with the Scottish Professional Football League; the Rugby League World Cup, along with paid roles within Burnley FC. These placements also gave me the confidence to obtain my own internships and jobs, most notably as a media intern at Scunthorpe United, and as a security guard with G4S, where I worked on many high profile sporting events such as the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic games, the Silverstone F1 Grand Prix, The Ashes, The Open Golf, and at every Burnley FC home game of their 2013-14 season which saw them promoted to the Premier League. I conducted my dissertation research project on 'The Impact of Sky Sports on the Premier League from a non-monetary

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
