When Women in Football's ground-breaking #WhatIf campaign was launched in May 2018, The Football Business Academy offered proactive support right from the start by pledging to offer our members a discounted scholarship to their prestigious Professional Master in Football Business course.

And with the deadline looming on 1 February for the March 2021 intake, what better time for a reminder about this incredible opportunity for two women to get 50% off the fees for next month’s course, and one other for the September intake.

For those not familiar with the Professional Master in Football Business course, the first half of the 1-year Master programme starts with two online modules in which an international selection of football industry experts deliver their core courses through a bespoke learning management system.

An example of this includes Women’s Football Development, now taught by former Tottenham Hotspur Ladies FC General Manager Nicole Allison.

For the second part, candidates get a 3-month internship at clubs and football organisations around the world. This would normally be followed by an on-campus module held at the esteemed Nova School of Business & Economics, just outside Lisbon, during which additional courses, relevant field trips across Europe, and a real-life Student Business Project prepare you comprehensively for a career in the industry. 

Throughout the entire course a lot of emphasis is also placed on networking, which is amplified further with the candidates’ participation at Soccerex events.

Among the partners of The FBA there are reputable clubs such and organisations as Brighton & Hove Albion FC, Olympique Lyonnais, Benfica, Common Goal, EFDN, Fnatic, Portland Thorns/Timbers and Galatasaray.

So how do you take advantage of this incredible pledge? 

You will need to be a Women in Football member, and have a conversational level of English, as well as hold a Bachelor degree OR have a minimum of three years’ work experience in any field.

You should click through on the link below – which is reserved for our members – and submit your CV, a covering letter that sets out why you want to join The FBA, what your ambitions are, and why you deserve the Women in Football Scholarship. You also need to send a copy of your passport, and a copy of your degree certificate (if relevant).
