Peace of Mind

The i2i International Soccer Academy offers students the exciting opportunity of studying for a Sports or Business degree, whilst focusing on their development as a soccer player during a 9 month season.

Our three year degree courses are delivered by the prestigious York St John University and Northumbria University – where students can study for either a BA (Hons) International Business Management or BSc (Hons) Sport and Exercise Science degree.

Both courses have been specifically designed to ensure transferability worldwide and run alongside a pro-level Soccer Development Programme, which enables students to train five days a week in a professional environment.

The timetabling of lectures and soccer development is meticulously planned to optimise the contact time in the classroom and on the field.

Our experienced coaches, who have played for and coached at English Premier League clubs, work closely with each individual player with a view to helping them pursue a range of careers, both inside and outside the sports industry.

The i2i International Soccer Academy is the ultimate programme for any young soccer player who dreams of studying abroad whilst exploring the exciting opportunities within the wonderful world of soccer.
