They collaborate with Northumbria University in Newcastle, which boasts the country's leading women's collegiate soccer team. The team holds the titles of National League and Cup Champions and has won the Futsal BUCS gold six times, reflecting their impressive track record in both football and futsal.

Northumbria University maintains a close partnership with the Newcastle United FC Women’s team, with their Head Coach, Becky Langley, also serving as a coach at the university. Qualifying i2i students might get to train with or even play for the women's team. Meanwhile, Newcastle United’s men’s squad competes in the English Premier League.

FAQ
Once your application has been submitted to Northumbria University (NU) or Leeds Beckett University (LBU), you will have acknowledgment of receipt within 5 working days. Once the University has reviewed your application, you will be offered a conditional offer. This will be conditional on the academic and financial requirements.
Please do read up about available loans now and try the FAFSA 4 Caster if you wish. Our website will be updated shortly for the current academic year. You may start your real FAFSA application as soon as you are ready but please do not complete any credit checks or loan MPNs until at least May because they only stay valid for six months and you would have to repeat the process before September.
You cannot make the visa application until 3 months prior to the start date in September. Once the financial element and academic requirements are secured, the NU / LBU Visa team will contact you with all of the details of how to begin the visa application.
The start date will be confirmed, however please be prepared to arrive in England and begin the full soccer and academic programme in the 1st week of September.
Students are required to achieve a High School Diploma with minimum GPA of 3.0 and an ACT composite score 24 or SAT composite score of 1180. We also accept a minimum of 2 AP’s grade 3 or higher.
The programme runs for three years followed by a prestigious graduation ceremony. Our programme runs from September through to the end of May, so our programme is around 9 month in length. There are opportunities for students to visit home over Christmas, Easter and Summer.
The three-year degree courses have been specifically designed to ensure transferability Worldwide. The Degree has been carefully thought out to ensure it is relevant for a wide range of careers. Both Northumbria University and Leeds Beckett University are highly regarded by companies and organizations all around the world.
In relation to a student to transferability of credits, if a student were to leave after successfully completing 2 years for example, they would leave with a lower award; they would have 240 credits, evidenced by a detailed transcript. These credits could then be used by a university in the US to allow the student to gain advanced entry. It would be at the University’s discretion as to which level the 240 credits would enable the student to enter, however it is likely that the credits gained in the UK academic degree would allow entry to Year 3 or Year 4 of a US degree.
Students are unable to combine the degrees on offer, however can progress onto a different Masters program.
Northumbria University and Leeds Beckett University both deliver a wide range of Masters Degrees that are available to i2i student athletes. Please check with i2i staff to determine alignment with the soccer program.
