Why Study At Durham University Sport?

Sport at Durham has three pillars; Performance, Participation and Community Partnership. Team Durham is built on teamwork, grows leaders, and is stronger because of its partnerships. Team Durham helps students to uncover their talents, try new things, to be fit and healthy, make a difference to those around them, and be the best that they can be. 

The university is Britain’s number 1 Team Sport University and supports over 50 capped internationals per year, it coordinates Britain’s largest participation programme with over 75% of its students engaged in sport and physical activity, and they have over 2,700 community users access its facilities each week working directly with student clubs and volunteers.

With a student participation rate of 75%, Durham has a higher percentage of physically active students than any other institution in Britain. With over 550 teams, across 18 sports, the College Sport structure is one of the largest and diverse intra-mural programmes in the world. Its recreational activities, open to both staff and students, engage a further 2,000 participants. 

Britain’s Number One Team Sports University 2017/18

Amazing performances by the sports teams have led the university to victory in as many as 13 national finals in last year’s acclaimed British Universities & Colleges Sports (BUCS) Championships, held in Nottingham in March 2018. Team Durham has a record-breaking 18 teams in the ‘Big Wednesday’ Championship Finals in what proved to be a historic day for them!
