University Academy 92 (UA92)&nbsp;is a higher education institution in&nbsp;Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England.

UA92 was announced in September 2017 and offers &ldquo;broader courses than traditional degrees, designed to enhance life skills as well as employability&rdquo;.Degrees have a focus on personal and character development, and the skills needed for the workplace.

UA92 was co-founded by&nbsp;Lancaster University&nbsp;and members of the&nbsp;Class of &#39;92, the Manchester United football players who won the 1992 FA Youth Cup, including&nbsp;Gary Neville,&nbsp;Ryan Giggs,&nbsp;Paul Scholes,&nbsp;Phil Neville,&nbsp;and&nbsp;Nicky Butt. Following their successful careers after football, the players wanted to open a university that would attract students who &quot;otherwise might not go on to higher education&quot;.

UA92 has been described by&nbsp;The Times&nbsp;as &ldquo;a venture setting out to help disadvantaged young people in Manchester get a better education, with a new university that explicitly draws on the strategies and mindset of elite sport&quot;.

It opened in September 2019 in Old Trafford, Manchester.

UA92 works in partnership with the industry to develop a curriculum inspired by business needs. Current partners include&nbsp;Microsoft,&nbsp;Trafford College,&nbsp;KPMG,&nbsp;Manchester United,&nbsp;and&nbsp;Lancashire County Cricket Club.
