We are delighted to share an exciting opportunity with our Year 13 students. Future Pro Academy will be hosting an HNC Open Evening on Wednesday 19th November, from 6:45 PM to 8:00 PM, at Coventry Sphinx FC (CV3 1WA).
Future Pro Academy’s Higher Education Degree Pathway—delivered in partnership with The Higher Education Academy of Sport and Loughborough College—offers an outstanding route for students who wish to combine university-level study with a high-performance football development programme.
This Open Evening will provide students and parents with a detailed introduction to the Football & Higher Education Programme ahead of the September 2026 intake. Members of the education team will be on hand throughout the event to discuss course content, academic expectations, and the range of support provided to student-athletes.
Now in its sixth year, the Loughborough Higher Education Sport Degree Programme has become one of the UK’s leading dual-career pathways, supporting students to succeed both academically and athletically.
