Option 2. THE ELITE PROGRAMME
Elite football

Message from Tim Fisher, Chairman
The Vector Programme not only gives an opportunity for a young footballer to pursue their professional footballing aspiration whilst studying for and attaining a world class education but creates an unrivalled employability potential for an illustrious career.
Your Vector education will become the cornerstone for future employment in the football sector. Looking beyond your career as a professional footballer, a degree will allow you to become eminently employable.
As Vector academic programme director, my longer term aspiration is to see our Vector Programme alumni in senior leadership positions within global and varied areas of work. The Vector Programme will position a young person with aspirations to become the best that they can be with an appropriate education to build a career upon.

Former Chairman of Coventry City Football Club
