Football club staff and supporters offered new bursaries to study at University of Cambridge in 2019

The University of Cambridge Institute of Continuing Education (ICE) and Cambridge United Football Club’s charity – Cambridge United Community Trust (CUCT), have collaborated to provide four new 100% tuition fee bursaries.

This exciting new partnership will enable the Club’s supporters, players and coaches to enrol on an Institute of Continuing Education Undergraduate Certificate courses across a wide range of subjects in areas as diverse as science and medicine, coaching, business and management, creative writing and philosophy. There are almost 20 courses eligible for the new bursaries and no existing academic qualifications are required for our Undergraduate Certificate courses – they are open to all.

The Undergraduate Certificates will start in autumn 2019 and are all delivered on a part-time basis. This makes them accessible to those working or with other personal commitments which would preclude full-time study. The four new bursaries on offer are intended to support regular Cambridge United fans, such as season ticket holders, players, coaches and other staff.

Ben Szreter, CEO of Cambridge United Community Trust said, “We are delighted to partner with the University of Cambridge’s Institute of Continuing Education to establish these innovative bursaries. Ensuring a wide access to education for everyone in society and at all ages is a very important objective and one which these bursaries will help to promote. As a result of this partnership Cambridge United fans, players, coaches and community participants will all have a chance to study at the University of Cambridge on a bursary which is a very exciting prospect. In a city that has been named for two years as the most unequal city in the UK it is important to establish collaborations across institutions that can tackle inequality and this partnership between the University of Cambridge and Cambridge United is part of that process.
