Sport and BUCS

Sport is a big part of the university experience for many students, and that's no different here at UC Sheffield.

Whether you want to play at a competitive or professional level, or just for fun, we've got the facilities for a huge variety of sports. At both City and Hillsborough campuses you'll have access to a range of sports facilities including our fitness suites, sports halls and all-weather 3G pitches.

BUCS

As a student at UC Sheffield, you'll have the opportunity to enter British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) competitions, giving you the chance to compete against other university students from across the country.

It's also a brilliant opportunity to get some international travel under your belt - with some of our teams having traveled to Slovakia and Budapest over the past year!

Talented Athlete Scholarship Scheme (TASS)

If you've got the talent and drive to compete in your sport beyond university competitions, then you could benefit from our accreditation from the Talented Athlete Scholarship Scheme, which recognises our commitment to supporting students who want to achieve their potential in both sports and academia.

TASS programme helps talented athletes to study for an academic qualification whilst also supporting them to continue with training and competing at the highest level. Students on the scholarship scheme benefit from a flexible timetable (to accommodate their training and competition schedules) and support resources (e.g. online study resources, catch-up sessions and 1-to-1s with tutors) as well as other perks such as sports kit, physiotherapy and even mentoring.

Currently there are a number of our students competing at top levels in athletics, basketball, boxing, football, kickboxing, ski-racing and swimming.
