Our Online FIMBA programme is based on our highly ranked on-campus Football Industries MBA which was established over 25 years ago. Offered part-time over two years, the programme combines the core MBA curriculum created by our world class faculty that includes modules in leadership, managing financial resources and marketing alongside specialist football modules. The football specific curriculum has been designed by our academic staff from the Centre for Sports Business, a leading hub for sports business research and practice who bring expertise and industry experience from sports analytics, economics, governance and finance. Who is this course for? If you want to kick-start your career in football management or up your game in the sports business, this programme is for you! Many of our candidates who join the FIMBA come from other sectors but have a lifelong passion and ambition to work in the game or start their new business within the football industry. Typically, you will have a minimum of 3 years of relevant management/leadership experience in the private or public sector. If you do not hold a degree or the required degree classification, you are welcome to apply.
