University teams up with West Bromwich Albion

Amanda West, Head of the School of Sport at the University, said: “I am absolutely thrilled to continue our partnership with West Bromwich Albion Football Club.  This collaboration reflects our joint dedication to harnessing the incredible power of higher education and football for the benefit of our communities.  I’m excited to embark on the next stage of our partnership to create opportunities for our students to make a difference.” 

Mark Miles, Managing Director at West Bromwich Albion, said: “We are delighted to renew our longstanding partnership with the University of Wolverhampton, which is now close to a decade long, and would like to thank them for their continued support. We look forward to continuing the partnership with the University, together with providing the students with more exciting experiences here at West Bromwich Albion.” 

As part of the sponsorship agreement, the club supports the University’s staff and students with a range of recruitment and engagement activities, enriching their courses and student experience from Foundation level study through to Postgraduate research. 

University of Wolverhampton students were able to benefit from a range of enrichment opportunities last academic year, such as academy visits, commercial Q&As, official match reporting from the press box and even a chance to play on The Hawthorns pitch.  

The University’s mission is to maximise opportunity by generating knowledge, innovation and enterprise. To be a progressive and influential sector leader, championing diversity, growth, and creating life changes for all while enhancing the economic impact and accelerating ambition across the entire University community.
