The three-year course is associated with Notts County FC
Students will now be able to enrol on a football degree course for the first time in Nottingham. BA Football Studies will be taught at Nottingham College's Basford campus from September and the college says it will provide students with the skills they need to work in the football industry.
He said: "We initially took some feedback from students about two years ago and football studies was clearly something of interest, not only across the city but across the county and beyond. Although the course is called football studies, actually what the students will study is a lot of transferable skills they can take into many industries."The course isn't solely designed for elite-level support.
Carl said: "We’ve had interest from a wide demographic including Wales and Scotland, but then across the Midlands, we’ve really seen a lot of interest. We've got two enormous teams here in Nottingham who are well-known, they are historic, they have a great reputation and tradition; we're steeped in tradition here as a football city.
"I think people are applying who, five years ago, wouldn’t have applied because they didn’t feel there was a space for them. It now feels that in all sports there is far more accessible support across a wider demographic than we have ever seen."
