Leading Higher Education sector experts, CUBO, held their virtual award ceremony on Thursday 3 December.

The University was applauded for the variety of innovative and inclusive programmes to increase participation in sport, as well as offering sector-leading facilities for students to stay active on campus. The success of competitive teams was also commended, with a record number of league titles, cup medals and individual golds won across the 2018/2019 season.

Nottingham was also shortlisted for the CUBO Digital Engagement award for the popular Empower campaign, encouraging female students to get active on campus.

Josie Jessop, University of Nottingham Students’ Union Sports Officer said: “I’m so proud of everyone involved in delivering sport here at Nottingham; the staff and all the students who volunteer so many hours every week to run our sports clubs and programmes.

It’s been a really difficult and uncertain year and I think it’s so important for our students to be able to choose from so many options – in person and virtual – to stay active, connected and manage their wellbeing.”

The University now looks ahead to next week's British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) awards where we are shortlisted in eight different categories, including Club of the Year and Team of the Year.
