The association with FAW is unique in providing a distinctive offer through these market-leading courses.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the undergraduate and postgraduate courses have been co-designed with the FAW, embedding internationally recognised, football coaching licences (such as the UEFA B and A licences) into the curriculum. The integration of professional qualifications is one of the core strands of the partnership, with USW being the only UK university providing this, producing highly employable graduates.<\/p>\n<p>Community engagement is also an integral aspect of the partnership. Football coaching students annually deliver over 5000 work-based learning hours, supporting FAW placements and grass roots community football initiatives. Additionally, they volunteer a further 5000 hours a year.<\/p>\n<p>To find out more visit:<br \/>\nwww.southwales.ac.uk\/sport<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rby0qgDOQU4\">source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The exclusive partnership between the University of South Wales (USW) and the Football Association Wales (FAW) provide students with unique opportunities to immerse themselves in the world of sport.
