The MBA Football Industries programme offers a comprehensive and high level education to managers who are interested in opening up new career opportunities or supporting their development in football and associated industries. This programme provides students with a good grounding in the modern football business, encourages them to understand theoretical debates around its functioning, and to analyse critically processes and forces within it.
The MBA Football Industries was the first MBA qualification in the world to focus upon the rapidly expanding world wide interest in the professionalisation, business, and marketing of football. The programme combines professional development in the field of the football industries with a critical awareness of the issues involved in football management, marketing, and administration.
The Key features of the programme include, first, a comprehensive programme of guest lectures from key practitioners in areas of the management of the football industries, including the professional associations, football clubs, financial analysts and the media and, second, the opportunity to undertake placement based dissertation research in an organisation operating in the football industries.
There are three principal objectives to the programme:
  • To introduce students to the modern football business, encourage them to understand theoretical debates around its functioning, and critically analyse processes and forces within it.
  • To introduce students to generic management study, and encourage them to apply industry and business concepts to modern football.
  • To offer vocational training to students who wish to enter the football industry and peripheral industries, and to develop the skills and attributes required to successfully enter the industry.

  • A good understanding of core management theory
  • A good understanding of past and current trends in the football business
  • An enhanced ability to work individually and in small groups to research and propose solutions for problems
