Football Industries MBA

Described by the University of Liverpool as the original and only Football Industries MBA, this programme blends core MBA disciplines — including leadership, strategy, finance, and marketing — with specialist football-focused modules covering areas such as football economics, sport governance and law, football finance, and sports operations management. It is aimed at professionals seeking to build or advance careers at clubs, governing bodies, and related marketing, media, and sponsorship organisations, whether to change direction, gain promotion, or develop commercially.

The full-time classroom-based programme is delivered across 12 months at the University of Liverpool Management School in Liverpool, culminating in an MBA Impact Project — dissertation, business plan, or consultancy project. Students earn a full MBA qualification upon successful completion. The Management School holds triple-crown accreditation from AACSB, AMBA, and EQUIS, and the Liverpool MBA ranks among the top 100 globally in the Financial Times Global MBA Ranking 2026. The programme also features in the top 30 global and top five European SportBusiness postgraduate course rankings for 2025.
