Work out

UT AND SPORTS GO HAND IN HAND

Do you feel like working out? Whether it’s simply to exercise, socialise, or learn something new in one of our courses: at UT, there are plenty of ways for you to stay fit during your studies.

33 SPORTS CLUBS

Do you like team sports? Or are you more of an individual athlete? Whatever your preference, there’s a great variety of sports you can practice at UT. Over 30 sports clubs would love to have you join them! Bouldering, soccer, water polo, triathlon, table tennis, ice hockey, survivalrun – it will be hard to choose!

TOP SPORTS FACILITIES

The UT campus hosts world-class sports facilities for almost all sports. In the Sports Centre right at the heart of our campus, you will find two large sports halls and four gymnasiums, a complete Fitness Centre, and an indoor swimming pool. Outside the Sports Centre, you can make good use of the tennis courts, the outdoor swimming pool, the running track and urban trails, and our versatile multisport fields, to name a few options.

More than that, there’s a wide range of courses and group lessons you can try out, like swimming for absolute beginners, advanced Tai Chi or meditation. Or what about a session in body balance, Pilates, spinning, or Zumba? When you’re done and all tired out, you can have a refreshing drink in our sports bar and canteen!

YOUR ADMISSION CARD TO FITNESS & CULTURE

DO YOU LIKE TO WORK OUT REGULARLY, OR TO VISIT THE CINEMA OR THEATRE EVERY WEEK?

Then why not buy the UnionCard? You can get it for fifty euros a year (fourty euros if you order before 15 October). The card offers all kinds of benefits, such as free swimming in Enschede, and free use of our music studios. It is also a good way of reaching out to fellow students!

ANNE KRAAI

BACHELOR STUDENT APPLIED PHYSICS

After a long day of lectures, I love to clear my head by doing sports. Luckily, there are plenty of possibilities for that at the UT. I am a member of the

swimming club, ZPV Piranha. I’ve been swimming

in competitions ever since I was young. Like all the other sports associations here, the swimming club welcomes everybody: you don’t have to be a seasoned

swimmer – although a swimming certificate is handy.

Apart from my studies in CreaTe, I want to expand my horizon and make the most out of what the UT has to offer. Sports are not quite my thing, but I do love cultural activities. So, I’m learning to play the piano, I’ve signed up for a course on Creative Welding, and I’m part of

Pro Deo, the improv theatre association here.

It’s what I like the most about the campus: there are so many opportunities to develop yourself!
