Partnerships with universities
ASFU invites universities in the United Kingdom, Spain and beyond to collaborate on credit recognition, validated delivery and joint research in movement science.
Five ways to work with ASFU
Each model can start small, with one programme or one cohort, and grow after joint review.
Credit recognition
Your university recognises ASFU credit toward its own awards, through an articulation or RPL agreement.
Validated delivery
ASFU programmes are validated by your university and delivered online under your quality framework.
University-branded courses
Programmes run as your institution's own short or postgraduate courses, with ASFU content and tutors.
Joint research
Collaborative studies in applied biomechanics, rehabilitation and youth movement, with co-authored outputs.
Faculty exchange
Guest teaching, external examining and shared supervision across institutions.
Something else in mind?
We will look at any model that keeps academic standards clear for students.
Propose a modelMapping to UK frameworks
Certifications are written to RQF level 5 descriptors and diplomas to FHEQ level 7. Credit converts at 1 ECTS-equivalent to 2 UK credits, so a 60 ECTS-equivalent diploma equals 120 UK credits, the size of a Postgraduate Diploma.
- Credit-rated short courses and CPD
- Recognition of prior learning toward a taught master's
- Validation under the partner's academic regulations
- External examining by partner staff
