Cardiff City FC Community Foundation have teamed up with the University of South Wales and the EFL to launch a new degree – a BA (Hons) in Sports Business and Management – with spaces available to start studying this September.
This degree provides people over the age of 18* a chance to study in the environment of a professional football club, enhancing your employment opportunities in this sector. To study the degree, you’ll have a formalised affiliation with Cardiff City FC through the EFL.
Lectures are produced by USW staff, but you’ll study remotely at Cardiff City House of Sport with Cardiff City FC Community Foundation.
Students will also attend USW up to three times per year for Residential Study Visits as well as being assigned a Cardiff City FC Community Foundation mentor who facilitates your learning and supports the organisation of your weekly placement.
A key part of this degree is the increased amount of placement hours you’ll receive. Students will undertake 4-8 hours per week in year one, and 7-14 hours per week in years two and three.
These experiences will mainly be working within the remit of Cardiff City FC and will give you practical experience of working within the sports business and management industry. You may also get wider experience opportunities via Cardiff City FC’s sponsors and partners.
