Modules cover a wide variety of subjects such as The Global Football Industry and Digital and Media Marketing for Football, as well as Investigative Football Journalism and Coaching for Performance and Management.

By studying at partner clubs, students will also learn at the heart of the industry environment, with placement opportunities right on the doorstep.

Antony Isherwood, Community Director at Birmingham City FC Community Trust, said: "We are extremely excited to be joining forces with University College Birmingham on the new Football Business Management course.

"We believe the unique industry-based delivery model will allow learners to gain new knowledge and skills surrounding football business management and to also apply them within the industry.

"The structure, content and learning facilities accessible to learners at both St Andrew's Trillion Trophy Stadium and University College Birmingham provide a fantastic opportunity for learners to be successful on the course and to seek employment within the sports industry."
