Launch of BALLS

We remain totally committed to our vision to:

'Put the Wii into skittles - not take the Wii out of it.'

We have therefore decided to raise the necessary funding through our own efforts. It is with great pride that we announce the launch of the Bristol Academy for Learning the Language of Skittles (BALLS). We have applied to the Department for Innovation, Universities & Skills for registration as an education and training provider via our partnership with the University of Manchester Institute of Sports Science & Education (UMISSED).

Overseas students will be able to enrol for a fee of £300 for a six month intensive course. Higher diplomas and degrees via our partnership with UMISSED are available from £1500 per term payable in advance. Distance learning is an option providing students are able to satisfy the residential requirements by living within 20,000 miles of Manchester.

BALLS is fully signed up to Home Office guidelines on student sponsorship, visa requirements and working time limits.
