Sport & Fitness

Sport and fitness for all

The Team Bradford sporting community offers clubs and activities for every student. You can get involved in a range of sports; from football to snowboarding, archery to athletics.

Sport gives you the means to become a part of Team Bradford, and the incredible social aspects that brings with it. Whether you get involved in social or competitive activities, sport gives you the ability to shine through to employers. It shows that your university experience was more than just a degree. Hamza Ahmed, Sports and Wellbeing Officer

Represent Team Bradford

As well as holding regular training sessions, many of our clubs are represented by teams in the British Universities and Colleges Sports (BUCS) leagues.

Our students have the opportunity to compete against rival universities from across the country in sports as diverse as lacrosse, equestrian, archery and fencing.

Join our club

Team Bradford isn't all about sport - our club members also enjoy a vibrant social scene. Many of the clubs organise regular events and nights out, and some of them even holiday together!

Joining a sports club is a great way to make friends.

Sport Membership and Your Turn

Membership

To enrol in a sports club you will need a Sports Membership, which costs £160 for 12 months.

Membership allows you peak access to Unique Fitness and Lifestyle, and entitles you to join as many sports clubs as you like.

You can purchase membership online, or in person at Unique.

Your Turn for non-members

The University of Bradford Union of Students also runs a Your Turn programme for students and staff who aren't involved in clubs.

This programme allows students to participate in a wide range of casual sports sessions without the commitment of membership.

UNIversal Gym Membership

Stay in shape, wherever you are

Sports Membership holders are now entitled to sign up to a new pilot scheme organised by British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS), called UNIversal Gym Membership.

The scheme allows Sports Membership holders from the University of Bradford free access to gym and sports facilities at participating institutions.

Open to staff and students

The offer is open to staff and students, and is particularly useful if you commute to university or have a placement away from campus.

To get involved in the scheme, please see Beth Stanfield, the Sports Officer at the Students' Union.

Further details and a list of participating institutions can be found on the BUCS website.

Sports Scholarship Scheme

Our Sports Scholarship Scheme provides financial assistance for qualifying students who are serious about sport.

If you are applying to study at the University of Bradford and excel in a particular sport, you may be eligible.
