Sports students at UCS have access to our dedicated sports science lab equipped with cutting-edge physiology and biomechanics equipment. The lab allows you to delve into the scientific aspects of sports performance and gain a deeper understanding of the human body's response to physical activity. Alongside this, our sports halls and outdoor spaces provide the perfect environments for coaching and practising various sports and activities.
Across our campuses, we have a range of facilities including a floodlit 3G FIFA-approved artificial pitch, five football pitches, a rugby pitch, sports halls, gyms, sports rehabilitation rooms and a studio cycling facility. We also host a stunning 9-hole golf course in the beautiful Cannington countryside and an Outdoor Activity Centre.
About University Centre Somerset
At University Centre Somerset (UCS), we strive to unleash the potential in each of our students, supporting them as they unlock new skills and ambitions. Our goal is for students to step seamlessly into their careers with confidence, equipped with not just knowledge, but practical, hands-on experience in their chosen field.
Qualifications range from short courses to full Honours degrees, in a range of career-focused subjects from Agricultural Management to Mental Health Nursing. Each course is designed with excellent career prospects and progression in mind, whether locally or further afield.
But at UCS, we're not just about qualifications. We champion small class sizes, nurturing an inclusive and welcoming environment where students can flourish. Each student has a personal tutor for the duration of their programme and access to a wealth of support services across our three friendly, accessible campuses.
