The health and wellbeing of staff and students is at the heart of our efforts to change lives for the better. We aim to offer an environment that supports those who are inactive and wish to build physical activity into the everyday life alongside those aspiring to compete at the highest level of sport.

Play Sport at USW

At USW, we offer a thriving sports environment that breeds success. In recent years, we’ve seen a number of outstanding successes in the British Universities and Colleges League (BUCS) backed up by our elite training facilities and high-performance sport programmes.

Student Voice Rep

Every year a student or recent graduate is elected to work on supporting activities and make sure student voice is heard. Our Student Union Activities Officer champions the student voice of teams, clubs and societies and supports fundraising and volunteering opportunities. You can contact them directly to find out more about our sport teams.

Getting involved

Any full or part time student can represent USW in a wide range of sports as an individual or as part of a team. Each year we invite students to sign up for trials at our Fresher's Fayre which takes place during Freshers' Week.
