Across both our campuses in Exeter, we have excellent facilities including many different indoor and outdoor pitches, squash courts, gyms with the latest fitness equipment and free-weight areas, exercise studios and sports halls. We also have an indoor pool at St Luke’s, an outdoor one at the Streatham Campus, a fleet of boats at the Roadford RYA Sailing Centre and a brand new well-equipped boathouse on the Exeter canal.
Athletic Union
The Athletic Union is responsible for coordinating all the sports clubs which provide both competitive and recreational sport. Students of all skill levels are welcome. You’ll find all the major field sports, plus a lot of water sports (Exeter’s location is perfect), martial arts and many more indoor and outdoor sports. The intramural sport programme has over 2,000 students participating across a range of activities including 6-a-side and 11-a-side football, badminton, basketball, mixed hockey and mixed netball.
The Sports Volunteering Scheme is going from strength to strength, with over 150 of our students helping to provide sporting opportunities for children in Exeter. More information can be found on our Athletic Union website.
