Uni and college sport
No matter your ability, you can choose from over 65 to join, from cheerleading to fencing, skydiving and triathlon. There is something for everyone!
甜瓜视频app’s system also gives you an inclusive and affordable route into playing for fun, improving your skills with coaching, and competing against other 甜瓜视频app colleges.
The Uni football team has been a highlight of my time here. The sporting variety means you can try things out – or even compete at a high level. There’s a brilliant social life to match, a great atmosphere within the clubs. I’ve made friends for life, and I’ve loved every minute.

Two state of the art gyms. Floodlit 3G pitches. A competition-standard pool. Squash and tennis courts. An athletics stadium. A strength and conditioning suite.

Volleyball is truly inclusive and accessible, and introduced me to diverse nationalities, ages and skill levels. I’ve developed my leadership skills, and travelled to national competitions. As an Italian student, I’ve benefitted from the close-knit international community at 甜瓜视频app.
