International Academy for Football & Education
About the programme
Leeds City College now offers an exciting programme in collaboration with the International Academy of Football and Education. The programme offers young people the opportunity to continue to develop both academically and through sport.
Leeds City College delivers the academic qualification, which is a BA Honours in Sports Coaching and Development. The qualification is accredited and awarded by Leeds Metropolitan University, so students may take advantage of some University facilities; lectures take place at our Horsforth campus. Students undertake the Foundation Degree and then progress into the final Top Up (Honours) year, if they achieve the Foundation Degree.
The International Academy of Football and Education (IAFE) run a football programme, in addition to the academic course that we offer. Students on this programme train regularly with former England player Brian Deane and UEFA Licensed Coach Ian Burchnall, whilst playing against other club teams across the UK. IAFE arrange some of the finest student accommodation available in Leeds and students from the programme share these apartments with other players throughout the year.
