University of Manchester

The University of Manchester has a long-standing history of academic and sporting excellence.

Our university offers a unique blend of experiences in both studies and sport, all in the heart of a city with sport at its core. For high performing athletes, we offer a sport scholarship to support them in their development and performance across all aspects of their life www.sport.manchester.ac.uk

We’re proud to have supported a range of successful Olympians and Paralympians alongside supporting athletes to progress to professional and international standards.
We pride ourselves on our person-centred approach, shaping support to the athlete’s needs as an individual and to support their journey as a person.

More about this site

We recognise that the needs of athletes require specific support, and we work with every athlete from the outset to co-ordinate individualised performance, academic/vocational and wellbeing support that matters, placing the athlete at the very centre of all decisions. These items, together with an exciting programme of workshops, sit at the heart of our university scholarship and TASS support.

The University of Manchester is delighted to have been a TASS Dual Career Accredited site, recognising our commitments to talented student athletes in helping them to excel in their studies, their sport and as people after graduation.
