Pursue Your Masters Degree And Soccer Ambitions
Eligibility rules are different in U.K. university sport and allow student-athletes the opportunity to play a further year of college soccer whilst pursuing their master’s degree –regardless of the number of years they have played in the NCAA/NAIA.
With the opportunity to compete alongside a master’s degree, this has become a very popular for graduating student-athletes. In the last few years we have helped former college athletes of all athletic divisions (NCAA D1, D2, D3 and NAIA) in pursuing their postgraduate ambitions in the U.K.
To be eligible, students need to have completed their undergraduate degree (or be on track to do so) with a minimum of a 2.50 cumulative GPA.

I could not be more happy with my experience with Play Overseas. Having the opportunity to continue playing the sport I love while earning a postgraduate degree is an unmatched experience! The staff was always receptive to questions and made the process easy and exciting. I would highly recommend this service to any student-athlete considering their next step after undergrad.
