International Academy for Football & Education

Leeds City College works in collaboration with the International Academy of Football and Education (IAFE). IAFE offers their players the opportunity to train with UEFA Licensed Coaches and play against other club teams. This gives young people, who are seeking a career in sport, the chance to obtain a good education whilst continuing to play regularly themselves.

Academic Programme

Leeds City College delivers a BA Honours Degree in Sports Coaching and Development. The qualification is accredited and awarded by Teesside University. Lectures take place at our Horsforth campus. Students undertake a two-year Foundation Degree and then progress automatically onto the final Top Up (Honours) year, if they pass the Foundation Degree.

The IAFE Programme

The International Academy of Football and Education (IAFE) is owned by former England player Brian Deane and UEFA Licensed Coach Ian Burchnall. IAFE run a football programme alongside the academic course that we offer. Students on their programme train regularly and play against other club teams across the UK.
