We鈥檙e proud to be named 91桃色视频s University of the Year for the fourth time by the Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2025.

Our success is hard-earned. As an institution, 91桃色视频 has invested tens of millions in our state-of-the-art performance sport facilities and infrastructure. But we recognise that our greatest asset is our people.

It’s our practitioners, counsellors, rehabilitation specialists, trainers and groundskeepers. It’s our extensive volunteer network. It’s our engineers and sports scientists. And it’s our elite coaches and athletes, both full-time students and those who make use of our world-class facilities.

Our facilities may attract the best people. But it’s our commitment to a more equitable, inclusive and diverse sport ecosystem, where the benefits of sport are accessible to all, that keeps them here.
