YOUR ACADEMICS
BA (HONS) FOOTBALL
BUSINESS & FINANCE
IAN TOMLINSON | Programme Leader
First of all, I’d like to congratulate you and personally
thank you for an enjoyable three years, which I have
had the privilege to spend with you the Class of
2020, both individually and collectively.
Graduation Day is always the highlight of my year and one that makes me
very proud of your achievements. It is a time to look back and I will certainly
remember with fondness the fun we have had together over the last three years.
The Finance newsletter, led by Gabriella and team, made big leaps forward, a
personal thank you from me. The Virtual Training Game became a personal battle
and a challenge for me to keep in front of you all, but especially you James! Josh’s
business cards hit new highs in terms of quality and Anca just ensured we all
stayed on our toes! We even had our own Burnley Fan Club!
It just leaves me the opportunity to raise a glass to wish you all the best in the
future. If you need anything in the future, all you have to do is ask and I will
personally be in your corner. All the best and congratulations!

Congratulations on everything you have
achieved here with us at UCFB over the past
three years. It was a pleasure to meet you and
work with you all. Hopefully someday soon we

a way which is right, proper and all that you
deserve. Until that time take care, stay safe and
I will see you all very soon.

Congratulations on your graduation, it has
been an absolute pleasure teaching you
all over the last three years. I would like to
take this opportunity to wish you all the very
best for the future. I am sorry we couldn’t be
doing this face-to-face but hopefully we will
get that opportunity in the new year. In the
meantime, just get out there and show the
world what you can do, make the most of
every opportunity that comes your way and
keep in touch.

BA (HONS) FOOTBALL
COACHING & MANAGEMENT
CARL WILD | Programme Leader
Congratulations to you all on your graduation. This is
a significant achievement for every one of you, as you
would have all come across a number of challenges
along the road to graduating, which you have
successfully overcome and then used as part of your
development. Do not underestimate this being a major milestone in your lives,
you have come to the end of what I am sure would have been an enlightening
and rewarding three-year journey, where you have gained not only invaluable
knowledge and skills but also long lasting friendships and contacts within the
football industry.
Having been with you throughout your three years at UCFB, I have thoroughly
enjoyed being a part of your journey and I will hopefully continue to be part of
your new journey in any way that I can help. Today is the culmination of your
commitment and hard work over the last three years and now is the time to
take what you have learnt and start the new chapter in your lives. I have every
confidence that you are all in the best possible position to go on and establish a
successful career within the football industry and I am sure we will hear of your
successes in the future.
BA (HONS) INTERNATIONAL
FOOTBALL BUSINESS
SIMON MITTON | Programme Leader
Congratulations to all BA (Hons) International
Football Business graduates. I’m sure this is a
very proud day for you.
Unfortunately, we cannot be together today,
however I am there with you in spirit. I am
immensely proud of everything you have achieved during your three years, but also
during this incredibly difficult time that we have faced globally. This is a testament to
your work ethic and your commitment.
I really look forward to seeing you all enter the industry and establish yourselves. I am
proud to know you on both an academic and a personal level and look forward to
following your journeys. Please keep in touch, you should
be immensely proud of all you have achieved.

BA (HONS)
PHYSICAL EDUCATION
STACY BIRCHALL
| Programme Leader
Congratulations to you on your
graduation from the Physical
Education programme. You have
completed a significant milestone
in your lives and have reached the
end of what I am sure has been a
fun, enlightening – and at times,
challenging – three-year journey.
Today is the culmination of your commitment and hard work over the last three
years.
We have had a great three years, some of our educational adventures I will never
forget, WAKTU, Debdale windsurfing, Becky Adlington's swim stars. You have
been a great cohort of students. I look forward to seeing what you can achieve.
Upon meeting you all I had quickly recognised that you are a knowledgeable,
passionate and determined bunch! Now is the time to take what you’ve learned
here at UCFB and – along with the same determination and passion – go out
there and begin a new chapter in your lives. I have every confidence that you
are all in a great position to establish an exceptional career within the sports
industry. Your time at UCFB may be up, but I’m sure we’ll be hearing about
some of you again in the future. Good luck and my very best wishes with
whatever the future holds.
