Dear Supporter

Re: University & College of Football Business

Prior to the public launch of the world's first institution of higher education in football business at Turf Moor tomorrow (Friday), I write to introduce the concept to you as a valued supporter of Burnley Football Club.

The University & College of Football Business is being run as a separate entity to Burnley FC but as the first educational establishment of its type to offer three different degree courses in the football industry will be a valuable addition to Turf Moor in bringing round-the-year usage to parts of our wonderful stadium.

For the full package of information on UCFB and how it will operate, see: www.ucfb.com

The UCFB website provides a full Prospectus, which can also be requested from Student Recruitment & Admissions Officer Lucy Phelan by email at l.phelan@ucfb.com 

The three degrees courses that are available beginning September, 2011 are:

Football Business & Finance (BA Hons)
Football Business & Media (BA Hons)
Football Business & Marketing (BA Hons)

All programmes are three-year degree courses, validated by our educational partner Buckinghamshire New University.

These degree courses provide the opportunity for a student to study a traditional subject area, motivated by an industry of great interest.

If any members of your family of university age are considering a university course and want to study at 'their club' to gain a valued qualification in football business please contacts us.

For further information, email Lucy Phelan or call our admissions office on 0843 208 2222

Kind Regards

Paul Fletcher MBE
Chief Executive
Burnley Football Club
