Sport

Loughborough University’s sporting reputation precedes itself, not only because we produce some of the highest performing athletes in the country – but because we’ve created a supportive and inclusive environment which makes sport accessible to all.

Performance programmes

We offer world-class performance programmes in a range of sporting disciplines. Those who secure a place on one of our programmes will be supported by a team of expertly-skilled practitioners taking care of all aspects of your performance lifestyle, including nutrition, psychology and physiology. Our athletes will also have access to one of the country’s largest and most-equipped strength and conditioning gyms.

Committed performance student athletes can balance the demands of elite sport and academic studies through our unique, flexible support system. Scholarships are also available to our most exceptional student athletes to provide additional financial support. BUCS

Loughborough have been champions of British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) for 40 years running, and our unbeaten record is something we are extremely proud of. We have over 55 sports clubs for you to participate in and due to the high standards of performance, places are competitive. We actively encourage athlete progression from our social and recreational sports programmes into BUCS teams.
