If you’re passionate about playing soccer, in addition to your MSc study, you have the option to enhance your skills and knowledge by joining our soccer training and coaching programme through our partnership with leading football academy, RIASA, creating the only programme of its kind.

 

Founded in 2010, the RIASA soccer programme allows student-athletes to experience a professional academy set-up over a nine-month season.  As soon as you join our academy, you’ll be thrown into intense training sessions and competitive league fixtures that will help you grow on and off the field. Our soccer training team are highly experienced UEFA A & B licensed coaches, enabling you to develop each time you step on to the pitch.

 

With courses which are timetabled to maximise your time both in classes and on the field, you will be training, on average, four times each week and competing once or twice every week. Together with a UK/US MSc degree in International Sports Management, it’s great preparation for aspiring soccer players or individuals who want to break into the sporting industry.
