Sports Centre Welcome Week - Give It A Go

• Saturday 21 September - Sunday 30 September 2024

Keeping active is great not only for your body, but for your mind too - and there's no better place to do it than within the campus. We are offering students a chance to 'try before you buy' and enjoy over a week of free access to make sure we're the right fit for you. The University has two state-of-the-art sports centres, each with access to a pool, sauna, and steam room as well as full size gyms. Bring your student card down to either of our receptions, complete a quick health form, and get full centre access completely free of charge.
