Eligibility
The programme is open to all prospective and current students who compete at a regional, national or international level in their sport. All courses, undergraduate or postgraduate, are eligible. Applicants must be able to provide evidence of their achievements and future potential.
There are a limited number of places available each year, so not all applicants will be accepted. Every application is scored by a panel, with priority given to BUCS and Olympic sports.
