Sports clubs
We have over 60 sports clubs ranging from traditional sports, such as rugby, football, cricket or tennis, to martial arts, motorsport and watersports.
Many clubs travel all over the UK to compete against other universities in the British Universities & Colleges Sports competition.
If you don’t have time to commit to a sports club, we also have several extremely popular leagues including 11-a-side and 7-a-side football, netball, squash, tennis, badminton and dodgeball. Simply get a group of friends together and form a team.
Our clubs
Unless specifically stated clubs are offered for both men and women. There is a small charge to join each club but this includes insurance.
