The University of Bristol has a great history of sporting excellence and a huge amount of sporting talent exists amongst our students. The Centre for Sport, Exercise and Health is committed to maintaining Bristol’s position amongst the best of the UK’s sporting universities by making the most of this pool of talent. In order to achieve this goal, we have the following strategy:
- Priority support for our ‘Focus sports clubs’ (FSC)
- Provision of high level professional coaching.
- Sustained success through long-term development planning
- Provision of first rate sport support services
- The establishment of ‘open’ sports clubs at the University
- Active recruitment of external funding for FSC and individual scholarships

For Bristol to continue as a top sporting university and give its students the best opportunities to develop their potential, Bristol needs to focus on coaching and facilities, and attract the brightest sporting prospects in the country. Increasingly, universities are employing professional coaches to enable students to achieve their full sporting potential.
