The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide
In one of the UK’s most respected university league tables we were named Sports University of the Year 2019.
Student successes
Three of our students were selected for the Winter World University Games and three for the Summer World University Games. Individuals or teams from seven sports qualified for the European University Championships, and 25 of you have represented 10 countries at a senior international level across a wide range of sports.
Hosting events
We’ve hosted a number of key sporting events this year, including the British Open for Dodgeball, the Boccia National League Finals, the British Fencing GB Cup and the England Netball U17, U19 and U21 National Performance League Tournament. We also hosted 420 school children at Discover Days to raise aspirations of children in disadvantaged areas.
Thank you to each and every one of you who have helped us achieve such fantastic results in sport this year, and well done to all of you.
