UCFB Wembley was the best choice I could have made. From day one, I was assisted by a large group of managers who supported me in every aspect of university life: lectures, extracurricular activities, bursaries and communications with the SFE. In addition, UCFB stimulated me to have initiative. Of course, no one will force you to do anything, but if you have the right level of resilience and passion, all doors will open, and you will learn to network and propose to the world of Sports Business.

The Physical Education course has been structured with a perfect balance of theoretical and practical lessons. I think it is the right choice; then, in the subject of PE, it is essential to have competencies on the pedagogical and psychological side and the ability to manage a lesson. When we had the chance, we were encouraged to deepen our knowledge with sports certification courses or outdoors trips to deepen the team building and leadership theme. During my three years as a student, the Lecturers have taken steps to place me in work contexts where I can volunteer and learn the PE teacher profession in the field. In the future, It would be optimal to have the chance of doing a fourth year to obtain the QTS.

I absolutely loved my time at UCFB and the course I studied. UCFB provides you with amazing and unique opportunities including internships and placements within the sports industry and the chance to network with industry professionals. I loved the guest speaker sessions we had and this is definitely unique to UCFB. My lecturers were brilliant. They had industry experience themselves and were very helpful, providing 1:1 help when requested or needed. Studying at the Etihad was great - location is close to the city centre and easily accessible via public transport. City life in Manchester is really fun. UCFB also held extra courses to increase employability like language workshops and they regularly share industry job and placement advertisements to students. I met great friends with the same passion for sport and drive to work in football.

The course was mostly taught in-class however sometimes online due to covid. You have good contact with lecturers who make themselves available to help on a 1:1 basis. Tutors are often in and around the university library so you can chat with them outside of class hours too. I enjoyed the course's split between lectures and seminars.
