UK university to offer only football business degrees

Help

A university has been set up in Burnley dedicating itself to the study of the football industry.

The University and College of Football Business (UCFB) will equip students with degrees in managing, marketing or finance of the beautiful game.

It has already got the backing of Alistair Campbell, former FA boss Brian Barwick, the PFA chairman Clark Carlisle and Rachel Brown, the Everton and England goalkeeper.

Philip Wilson is UCFB's Provost and chief executive and he tells Radio 5 live Breakfast's Rachel Burden how the courses will work.
