Alongside professional soccer development, student-athletes work towards a full bachelor's degree in Business, Sports or Engineering at Northumbria, a world top 100 young university (Times Higher Education Young Universities Rankings, 2024). Students also have the option to study their chosen course with an extended degree pathway. This is a foundation year which provides an alternative route into higher education, offering support to those who don’t meet the standard entry requirements. Students undertake academic skills development and confidence building as part of the pathway before progressing onto a full bachelor’s degree.

To help balance the demand of academic study with high-level soccer development your timetable will be carefully structured to maximise your time both in the classroom and on the pitch. Most of our courses follow a model with academic classes in the mornings and soccer activities in the afternoons. Our Engineering courses operate a different schedule, with two full academic days per week, optimised to support success in your degree and player development.
