Sport

The University has invested £8 million in sport since 1999 and now boasts facilities which are amongst the best in the UK. All students are encouraged to use the facilities, which provide for both competitive and recreational users. There are facilities on the Streatham campus for all the major sports including football, cricket, hockey, rugby, tennis, squash and badminton.

The Sports Park also has a 90-station air conditioned health and fitness studio and runs a varied programme of classes throughout the year including tai chi, yoga, pilates and various martial arts.

Students can also use the heated indoor swimming pool at the St Luke’s campus, which is a 20 minute walk away, or join one of our 50 sports clubs which include sailing and canoeing (our location is perfect), along with archery, caving, climbing, lacrosse and ultimate frisbee.

The Cornwall campus is ideally suited for those who enjoy an outdoors lifestyle. As well as walking and sailing, the UK’s top surfing beaches are minutes away by car. Our Sports Scholarship Scheme provides practical and financial assistance to students who compete at a national level to continue their sports whilst at Exeter.
