Sheffield United Community College have announced they will be running a new Sports Business and Management course starting in September 2024.

This new course is ideal for students who have a passion for sport but do not want to go down the traditional coaching route and instead want to work behind the scenes.

The three-year course is being delivered in partnership with the University of South Wales as part of their contract with the English Football League.

Education Manager, Ryan Collins, said the course will teach students transferable business skills from a sports angle.

He said: “When you use examples from an area of something someone enjoys, they’re going to naturally be more committed to it, especially if they’re getting a placement in a football club.

“They’re going to be living and breathing their passion rather than working for a traditional business”.
