Sport at Oxford

The University of Oxford has a strong tradition of sporting excellence; consistently at the forefront of sporting endeavour and nurturing numerous record-breaking athletes. At Oxford we believe that sport is complementary to our academic mission, helping our students develop the life skills, confidence and wellbeing to succeed in study, society and within the workplace, whether they are an Olympian or an enthusiast.

In order to continue this tradition, and to provide students, staff, and the local community with opportunities to develop their sports, fitness and wellbeing, we need your support.
