“As somebody who is passionate about both football and education. I am delighted to be a part of the Football Industry Degree.

The BSc(Hons) Football Industry is a unique and innovative programme which allows learners to combine their existing football commitments with studying for a degree.

I am looking forward to adding my own experiences, both on and off the pitch, to support and develop this and other programmes and I am excited about what we can achieve together.”

Entry Requirements

To be accepted you will need to have achieved a minimum of 96 UCAS Points. This is the equivalent to a DD/MMM or 3xC at 'A' Level. Alongside this, you are required to have obtained GCSE English and Maths at Grade 4 or above. Due to the nature of the degree, access to a footballing environment is essential. This of course can be your local Steven Gerrard Academy.

Our degree programme also welcomes mature students (aged 21 and over) with relevant experience. If you are 21 or over you’ll be invited to an interview to discuss your relevant experience and how this programme will work specifically for you.

“I have enjoyed studying for my degree since I started it. It’s interesting, flexible around my work commitments and I am applying my learning directly onto the pitch and seeing the benefits.

This course has been perfect for me, I have stretched myself academically, met some excellent people and enjoyed every session, whether that be online or in-person.

I would highly recommend this degree course to any students of Steven Gerrard Academy who are soon to graduate from the football and education programme."
