Athletic Union
SU SPORT
CLUBS AND SOCIETIES
SU Sport is run by the Students’ Union and it provides and supports over 25 different Sports Clubs to ensure that we have something to meet every student’s sporting interests. It also administers a successful scholarship programme, which assists students with exceptional sporting ability. Furthermore we offer ‘Focus Sports’ an initiative aimed at improving sporting excellence across targeted performance sports.
The SU supports a range of Clubs and Societies for our students, providing an opportunity for you to socialise and explore shared interests, away from the demands of your studies. It’s a great way to integrate with people who may not be on your course or in your year - joining a club or society can help you get more from your student experience overall.
The University has established a great reputation for the support and development of elite performers across many sports, and our Hall of Fame includes over 350 international competitors from 28 different sports, including World, Olympic, British and Commonwealth champions. We are proud to have been BUCS champions over the most recent years in rugby union, football, indoor athletics, basketball, and indoor cricket. FURTHER INFORMATION www.cardiffmetsu.co.uk/au
