Employability and Career Planning
Graduates have gained jobs, both inside and outside of sport, at a number of organisations both in the UK and abroad. Jobs range from clubs to businesses, in many different business facets.
No. A student can pursue a career in whatever industry they wish. Some students study at UCFB in order to gain a degree in an environment for which they are passionate.
UCFB proactively seek work-based learning opportunities for all students to apply for, and advertise them accordingly. Opportunities range from clubs, associations and organisations, to businesses and companies – both in and out of a sporting context.
Opportunities can take place at any stage of a student’s education. After graduating, UCFB still advertises work-based learning opportunities to alumni for two years.
Students can participate in as many opportunities as they wish, however academic work must still be submitted and completed to the best of that student’s ability and must always be the number one priority.
Like the real world of applying for jobs, all students are expected to send a CV and cover letter to apply for each placement. Following this, the employer may wish to interview each student. Our Employability and Career Planning team will be able to support you throughout your journey.

This is very unlikely, but sometimes unavoidable. If this does occur, the student is expected to alert their lecturer and inform student support or an academic administrator. All academic work must be caught up on.
