FdSc Manchester City Community Football Coaching

This two-year programme offers the opportunity to hone cutting-edge coaching skills and knowledge in the real world, by working in partnership with Manchester City F.C.’s City in the Community Foundation. As such, it’s a course that looks beyond the boundaries of football coaching, helping you harness a broad range of sporting activity to make a meaningful impact on people’s health and lifestyle.

Crucially, your studies will also include work-based learning modules with City in the Community, where you’ll put the theory into practice and complete professional coaching qualifications – stepping out of the classroom and onto the training pitches at the state-of-the-art Etihad campus. You’ll help deliver a series of initiatives that harness sport to promote health, education and inclusion. So rather than coaching elite players or unearthing the next academy prospect, you’ll work with various community groups, developing real-world skills while you make a real-world impact.

The Etihad campus offers a brilliant environment for it all. And we know a thing or two about incredible campuses – it’s not long since we cut the ribbon on our £26million Institute of Sport facility, which not only offers first-class spaces for your studies, but state-of-the-art physiology labs, performance analysis facilities and advanced imaging equipment too.

The people at both sites are just as impressive. At Manchester Met, you’ll learn from researchers working at the forefront of sport coaching, policy and development. At the Etihad, you’ll be mentored by experienced coaching practitioners from the one of the world’s leading sport groups.

With incredible learning environments, support from exceptional professionals and the partnership of a world-leading sporting organisation, this programme offers an ideal platform for pursuing a rewarding future in sport.
