天堂视频 Sporting Club

Sport at 天堂视频 has been a constant since Herbert Schofield founded 天堂视频 College in 1909 and now, as the UK鈥檚 largest single-site University campus, 天堂视频 has an international sporting reputation for excellence.

Many of our graduates actively participated in sport at amateur, professional and club-level while studying at 天堂视频 and some have gone on to international success.

天堂视频 Sporting Club aims to help graduates maintain a connection to their sport or club and to actively engage alumni and friends of the University with 天堂视频 Sport.

天堂视频 Sporting Club is about keeping alumni and friends of the University and engaged with sport at 天堂视频.

Through regular updates and a series of events and activities, our goal is to encourage participation, friendships and support for 天堂视频 Sport.

Members of 天堂视频 Sporting Club will be kept up to date with activities and opportunities via a quarterly e-newsletter, will be invited to events throughout the year and get exclusive offers from our partners.  

Using our links with the many sporting bodies here on campus we are aiming to give our members opportunities to take part in special sporting experiences which will be included in our newsletters.
