BSc (Hons) Football Studies (Foundation Entry) with Sandwich Year

University of Lancashire

If you love to play football, watch football, talk about football, and have ambitions to work in football, then our Football Studies Foundation Entry degree is for you. A Foundation Entry course is ideal if you’ve got the ability to study for a degree, but don’t have the necessary formal qualifications to directly join an honours programme. It’s a great stepping stone to degree study. We’re committed to delivering academic learning of the highest quality, helping you to stretch your mind and fulfil your university ambitions. You’ll examine the football world from a range of perspectives, linking theory and practice. Course topics include the media, fandom, coaching, development, business, management and events. You’ll be eligible for membership of the Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMSPA). Our Football Studies Foundation Entry degree is the stepping stone to a career in a football related industry.
Our sandwich degrees offer the perfect blend of academic study and practical work experience, allowing you to build confidence in the workplace and graduate work-ready from your degree programme.

Our previous graduates have found their sandwich year particularly beneficial as it has allowed them to gain practical, hands-on experience within their chosen career and the opportunity to learn directly from professionals based out in industry. It is not uncommon for sandwich year programmes to also open up future work opportunities in similar fields or professions for our graduates.
