UA92 was co-founded by Lancaster University and members of the Class of '92, the Manchester United football players who won the 1992 FA Youth Cup, including Gary Neville, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Phil Neville, and Nicky Butt. Following their successful careers after football, the players wanted to open a university that would attract students who "otherwise might not go on to higher education".The approval by the Department of Education to allow UA92 the use of 'University Academy 92' was questioned with critics claiming the decision to approve the use of the name makes it 'too easy for new providers to use ‘university in a new institution's name.
UA92 works in partnership with the industry to develop a curriculum inspired by business needs. Current partners include Microsoft, Trafford College, KPMG, and Lancashire Cricket Club.
In January 2021, the university was accepted into the Office for Students register of higher education institutions following an inspection by the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA).
THE UA92 DIFFERENCE
Universities have traditionally placed academic learning at the core of the curriculum, supported by employability for the world of work. By comparison, UA92 will ensure academic learning is intrinsically linked to our distinctive experience, which places character development and employability at the core of what we do.
UNLOCKING GREATNESS
We’ve created a unique approach to learning through Character and Personal Development – that optimizes emotional, social and physical intelligence to realize personal excellence. It’s preparation for life at the highest level.
SHARING KNOWLEDGE
No personal development journey is complete without building a love of learning, and developing the knowledge you need to succeed. As well as supporting your personal growth, you’ll also develop the state-of-the-art knowledge and skills crucial to future leaders in sport, media, business, and computer science.
MAKING CONNECTIONS
Success takes more than talent and training. Real-world experience and inspiring connections play their role too. That’s why every UA92 qualification includes a work placement with a top business or organization – and the first step on the fast track with leading brands after graduation.
