LOCATED in the heart of England with excellent aca-demic credentials and a proud heritage dating back to 1861, the University of Lincoln pro-vides an outstanding campus with inspirational teaching and fantastic facilities.

Lincoln is a great, safe and student-centred city with a long and fascinating history; which is evident from the sites of interest and beautiful architecture in the city.

The campus is found in the heart of the historical city of Lincoln, on the Brayford waterfront. Across the ma-rina, continental style cafes and restaurants are found overlooking the water. Just minutes’ walk away is the high street area, where Tu-dor beamed tea rooms line up against modern bistros.

The city’s old quarter is home to the thousand year-old Ca-thedral and medieval castle. Independent businesses line its cobbled streets, including art galleries, delicatessens, vintage boutiques and antique book shops. Lincoln is a place where ancient architecture blends together seamlessly with modern living.

The city offers a great shop-ping experience, with a host of well-known high street brands. Boutiques and specialist shops can be found in the old quarter. Film enthusiasts can watch the latest blockbusters at the nine-screen Odeon cin-ema. If you enjoy something more theatrical, the Theatre Royal, Lincoln Drill Hall and the University’s own Lin-coln Performing Arts Centre (LPAC) offer a programme of national and local drama plus comedy, dance and music per-

formances from touring com-panies and students.

All of your sporting needs are catered for, with various fi tness and leisure centres, swimming pools, parks and local sporting clubs.

The University has its own Sports and Recreation Cen-tre and you can sign up to any of our clubs or teams. The Students’ Union at Lincoln, who were recently awarded the title of Students Union of the Year 2014, offers over 120 clubs and societies including football, surfi ng, cheerlead-ing, drama and an orchestra to name but a few. Students are given the opportunity to compete in inter-university tournaments in a wide range of sports.

The University has a rapidly growing international reputa-tion for academic excellence and research. This is why a number of our courses are ranked in the top ten in the UK for student satisfaction. All of our programmes offer students business-relevant teaching and learning from leading academics. Many of our programmes are rooted in industry and our courses have excellent links with major glo-bal employers to ensure that you have the best opportuni-ties for your future career.

If you study at the Univer-

sity of Lincoln, you will be joining us at the forefront of a growing movement in Higher Education to engage with stu-dents directly in all aspects of their teaching and learning.

As a student in one of our three colleges, you could work on consultancy projects, linking with employers at a regional, national and inter-national level; be part of the design and development of work from external clients; be a part of creative arts projects and engage with matters of interest to our local commu-nity as well as with issues of world-wide importance.

Along with nationally accred-ited courses and degree-related work placements, it is all part of the rich teaching and learn-ing experience at Lincoln.

Lincoln is within easy access of cities including London, Not-tingham, Sheffi eld and Leeds, with good rail and road links. London Kings Cross station is two hours away by train

A WORLD First in Higher Education, UCFB delivers un-dergraduate degrees

and executive education in the administrative, man-agement and operational business facets of the global multi-billion pound football and sports industries.

The UCFB Wembley teach-ing facilities overlook the pitch within the famous Wembley Stadium in Lon-don, UK, which is the ‘chem-istry lab’ for students, allow-ing them to live, learn and work within the machinery of the sports industry. The global and iconic Wembley Stadium environment pro-vides students with an in-spirational and motivational environment for their stud-ies. Walking up Wembley Way every day to the spiritual home of English football and sport is truly an inspirational experience. The UCFB Wem-bley facilities refl ect the ex-cellence of the Stadium, with lecture theatres, seminar rooms, quiet study areas, li-brary and media suites, over-looking the fi eld of play.

Each individual student at UCFB has the opportu-nity to study a traditional academic subject within the context of an industry for which they have a genuine passion and interest. This is accompanied by the oppor-tunity for work experience with Wembley Stadium and their corporate partners. Key Wembley staff form part of UCFB’s Executive Speaker programme, providing valu-able insights and enabling them to network and pro-mote themselves for future career opportunities.

UCFB students enjoy state-of-the-art facilities for study

and work within a football business and sports envi-ronment. There are oppor-tunities for volunteering in the community and to apply for both paid employment in a variety of roles and un-paid work experience place-ments at other clubs and in other parts of the football and sports industry. Each classroom and placement encounter enables students to build up their own expe-rience in the industry and achieve their ambitions.

UCFB bridges the gap be-tween education and busi-ness. Students have signifi -cantly more contact time than those at traditional UK universities, allowing a unique approach to educa-tion. We provide two curric-ula; the traditional academic curriculum encompasses the exams and coursework where students are taught by leading fi gures in foot-ball business and sports academia, whose expertise has up to now only been available at the level of high-

ly specialised Masters and PhD. The second, Comple-mentary CurriculumTM, is a three year journey of profes-sional and personal develop-ment. This provides access to best-in-class industry guest speakers and exten-sive work experience oppor-tunities to ensure students graduate as well-rounded, empowered professionals.

At UCFB we have selected our degree programmes with great care in partnership with the wider and global sports industries to ensure that not only do our students have best-in-class business and management capabili-ties but also understand the skills required and the nu-ances of the range of sports careers.
