Campus Sports

The University provides sporting services for students, staff and the public, striving to be the heart of sport in Northampton. We have student offers for recreational activities via our Active Campus project and our partner gym and pool at Trilogy Leisure.

Our student sports clubs offer free sports clubs to students – both recreational and competitive. For our elite athletes, we host four super teams and offer our Elite Athlete Scholarship, with the aims of nurturing sporting talent to compete at the highest level.

The purpose-built Sports Zone at Waterside Campus houses state-of-the-art facilities, including a full-size FIFA/FA approved floodlit 3G pitch, three Multi-Use Games Areas (MUGAs), a weatherproof Sports Dome and changing facilities.
