Programme Overview
The MBA Football Industries (FIMBA) programme is the original, and still the only, Football industries MBA.

Focusing on the professionalism and business of the beautiful game, if you want to work in the global football industry- with clubs, governing bodies or related marketing, media and sponsorship companies - this is the MBA programme for you.
The core elements of the programme-leadership, strategy, organisations, innovation, international business and the global environment, entrepreneurship and managing financial resources—are delivered in concentrated blocks to encourage a deeper understanding, with a strong emphasis on interactive teaching and learning. The specialist football modules apply business concepts to modern football. You’ll gain a critical awareness of issues in football management, finance and law.
