Executive Guest Speaker Series
UCFB’s Guest Speaker Series is second to none, with past speakers including the likes of Gareth Southgate, Roberto Martinez, Gabby Logan, Jermaine Jenas, Rachel Brown-Finnis, Guillem Balague, Hayley McQueen, Mike Phelan and many more. Where possible, our alumni can take full advantage of our Guest Speaker Series at all campus locations. This is decided on a speaker-by-speaker basis due to availability, but we have reserved a number of spaces on a first-come, first serve basis for our alumni.
Global hub access
UCFB alumni get unprecedented access and collaboration opportunities between the world’s elite sports network, with our global hubs located in some of the world’s most exciting sports destinations: Inter Miami CF, New York’s Red Bull Arena, Toronto FC’s BMO Field and the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).
Jobs board
The UCFB Employability & Enrichment team continue to send graduate roles and exclusive sports job opportunities to our alumni. We are devoted to trying to find our students their dream job in the football and sporty industry and aim to do so.
Library access
Buckinghamshire New University alumni can register for free BNU library membership, including limited borrowing rights. University of East London alumni can apply for borrowing membership at UEL Libraries if they pay for an Alumni Network Passport card.
UCFB/GIS alumni may book study space by contacting the library team at either campus and may consult UCFB Library print resources when on-site.
Students’ Union
Our Students’ Union organises a number of fantastic events and social activities throughout the academic year. As part of our promise to students, these events will remain open for our alumni to attend subject to availability.
Pastoral alumni service
The pastoral alumni service provides advice and guidance for students for up to 12 months after leaving UCFB, as well as providing intermediary support for those students who have decided to suspend their studies but are planning to return to UCFB. This service allows for a transition period for students to change support services as it is difficult to effectively manage this transition at the end of the third year study due to exam/coursework pressures.
In addition, students can benefit from extended access to the careers service and activities, alumni student events and support moving into the world of work for students with additional needs. This service can be accessed face-to-face, over email and over the telephone.
Careers team
We all know that looking for a full-time job is like a full-time job in itself. With the fact that job seeking is becoming increasingly more competitive, we try to help make the transition from full-time studies to employment as smooth as possible. Our alumni can continue to access career services when seeking advice on CVs, cover letters, interview techniques and more.
To enquire about any of the above please email alumni@ucfb.com with your full name, email, year of graduation and the benefit that you are interested in.
