ULSTER UNIVERSITY and the Irish FA will join forces to create Ireland’s first football coaching degree.
Both will host an information and open night for prospective students at Windsor Park (6.30-8pm) to officially launch plans for the new course. The innovative degree will allow students to combine theory and practice with the completion of professional Uefa coaching qualifications along with an undergraduate degree.
The new Ulster University course will be delivered in four day intensive blocks, covering modules including everything from football policy planning and operations management to performance analysis and coaching science.
Embedded within the course will be internships and work placements, giving students first-hand experience of the industry and access to some of the North’s leading figures in football.
