It is a very complete course that provides a global and specialized vision of football and the different topics around it like history, inclusion, social impact, economic development, and cultural enrichment, among others. The course is dynamic and keeps you very interested in the topics, it fosters you to express your opinion by always supporting it with data and facts.
The amount of knowledge received through this course was huge. Not that it was overwhelming to follow the proposed weeks, the course is well dimensioned. But it expands ones knowledge and understanding of the dimensions of the game, so it could be more than a game. A very nice experience form beginning till end.

You must enrol
Good course and enjoyed the subject matter, Videos were really good and very educational. I already knew a lot about these subjects due to my love of football but learned more about how FIFA is run, Scottish football and how they use football to help with issues in the community, and women's football in general. Wished there was more engagement in the discussion prompts. But easily a 9/10 course.
Very interesting range of topics covered, thought some of it felt cut & pasted. For example, Dr Morrow's lecture from Week 2 was repeated in Week 6 (with a different title). It also looked like Week 4 used to be the big finish (thanks and handshakes with Hansen and Murphy). Lots of typos.
I'm glad I did it though
Not exactly what I was expecting or looking for
