Growth momentum UA92 is undergoing leadership changes with a new CEO and principal appointed in mid-2026, signaling a strategic growth phase that presents opportunities to align with their expansion plans, partnerships, and program investments.

New programs Recent launches include a Football Broadcast and Journalism degree and a prior Business of Football program, indicating a trend toward specialized, industry-aligned curricula that could benefit from sponsorships, industry partnerships, digital media tools, and student placement programs.

Access and reach Flexible start dates and accessible pathways (undergrad, certificates, access programs) suggest a market segment seeking flexible learning solutions, where education technology, enrollment platforms, and outreach services could drive recruitment and enrollment partnerships.

Recognition and support UA92 was recognized as the most supportive institution in Greater Manchester in the 2025 National Student Survey, signaling strong student experience and engagement—an attractive baseline for partnerships around student services, wellbeing platforms, and career readiness programs.

Tech-enabled growth A diversified tech stack and ongoing events such as TechFest 3.0 indicate readiness for partnerships in digital learning tools, learning management, analytics, and media production capabilities that support their media, business, and sports curricula.
