FIFPRO and the University of Nicosia offer degree courses in Business Administration.

The Bachelor's and Master's degree courses are open to professional players based anywhere in the world, and have a special focus on sports management

The university offers some full and partial scholarships to active players.

Anywhere, Anytime

All the exercises and learning activities for both degrees are available online and you can follow the lectures and do your homework whenever it suits you.

This could be at home, when travelling to and from matches, at training camp, or anywhere else.

“Studying online will allow you to make progress at your own pace during your football career”

— by Nienke van Gerven, FIFPRO Player Development Manager
