Oxford Brookes has always supported the development of its athletes and is extremely committed to providing a springboard for sportsmen and women to achieve their best at elite levels.

Our key areas of sporting excellence include basketball, cricket, climbing, rugby, hockey and rowing, and the university enjoys regular success in these disciplines through the high standard of coaching and the dedication of our students.

The Beijing Olympics saw no fewer than seven rowers with Oxford Brookes connections representing Great Britain, a further demonstration of the standard of the University's very successful boat club, and the University is extremely proud of the part it has played.
