How to choose a top sports university in the UK

Throughout the UK, more than 5,000 university teams regularly compete across 50 different sports. This means you can usually find the opportunity to join a sports team at any university across the UK.  

Each university in the UK is different, offering different programmes, modules, extra-curricular activities and events. Of course, the standard of sport also varies from university to university. 

If you’re looking to study at a school with a high level of sporting achievement, this can make it difficult to choose a sports-focused university. 

This is where The Student Sport Company can help. It helps students explore the quality of athletic facilities across different intuitions and identifies universities with a high standard of competition. 

The company has successfully helped students from more than 20 countries in pursuing their sporting and academic ambitions in the UK. 

If playing sports at a professional level is something you aspire to, it’s important to grow your professional contacts in the industry.  

The Student Sport Company has developed relationships with coaches and leading sporting and academic institutions across the UK. It uses this expertise to help students find universities with excellent sporting facilities and compares these possible options. 

The company aims to give students the advice and knowledge they need to make an informed decision about where to study.  

Sports scholarships, grants and bursaries aren’t just for students studying a sports-related degree, but are instead based on athletic ability and potential.  

If you are a talented athlete who wishes to continue competing at an elite level alongside your studies, you may be eligible for a scholarship. 

 The Student Sport Company works with sports staff across the country to help domestic and international students evaluate their chances of gaining sports scholarships.
