The rowing team travels all over the country competing at top-level national and international competitions and consistently places in the top 5 teams in the country. The boat club offers a welcoming environment to all abilities, from GB team hopefuls and world champions to complete novices who have never tried the sport before allowing everyone to enjoy the sport and enter competitions such as the BUCS regatta and Henley Royal regatta.

In the past academic year, we took home a total of 18 different medals from our two BUCS-affiliated events, placing in the top 3 universities in the country for the women’s victor ludorum, top 8 for the men and top 6 universities in the country overall. At Henley royal regatta, 4 boats qualified to race against crews from all across the world putting in outstanding performances against internationally renowned universities.

Each year the boat club runs learn-to-row courses for people who have an interest but have never had the opportunity to try it out whilst giving the experienced athletes a chance to coach and teach, alongside high-quality coaching from experienced professionals it makes it an incredibly supportive environment for all that are involved.
