Scholarship & Performance Sport
The University of East London provides support to elite athletes through world class training facilities, a flexible learning environment and a support network designed to maximise sporting potential and is aiming to become the No. 1 university for sport in London by 2015. Considerable investment in sport, and a massive jump of 42 places in the British University and Colleges Sports (BUCS) league-table, resulted in UEL winning the ‘Most Improved University’ accolade at the BUCS 2010-2011 awards ceremony.
Attractive sports scholarships, a flexible study policy for elite athletes and a range of support services make UEL an ideal place to combine study with competing at the highest level. Senior international judokas, rowers and track & field athletes are among the high performance sportspeople currently studying at UEL. We play host to the USA and Singaporean teams during the London 2012 Olympic Games, and the legacy of the Games, together with the addition of the £21 million SportsDock facility, will further help the University’s target of becoming the capital’s premier sporting institute.
In addition to supporting current students, UEL staff provide support for other aspiring athletes. Our staff deliver on the Newham High Performance Programme, the Junior Athlete Education (JAE) Academy and the Talented Athlete Scholarship Scheme (TASS). We also offer our services to local schools, colleges and clubs, and are developing links with a number of NGBs, including tennis, handball and swimming. If you would like to find out more about any of our programmes or are interested in developing a partnership, please do not hesitate to contact us:
