Master of Business Administration (Online Football Industries)

Designed for aspiring and existing football management professionals, the Online Football Industries MBA (Online FIMBA) from the University of Liverpool combines a core MBA curriculum with specialist football modules covering areas such as leadership, financial reporting, marketing, sport governance, football economics, analytics, and finance. The programme suits candidates with at least three years of professional experience who want to move into, or advance within, football and sports business. Optional study trips to UEFA and FIFA headquarters, an on-campus module in Liverpool, and an industry guest speaker series provide additional exposure to the sector.

Delivered entirely online over 24 months on a part-time basis, the programme requires approximately 15–20 hours of study per week, blending live sessions with asynchronous content through the Canvas learning platform. It concludes with an MBA Impact Project worth 60 credits. The University of Liverpool Management School holds triple-crown accreditation from AACSB, AMBA, and EQUIS, and its campus-based Football Industries MBA ranks in the top 30 globally and top five in Europe in the SportBusiness postgraduate rankings for 2025.
