Varsity Events

Over the course of the year our clubs and teams are invited to take part in two Varsity competitions, one at the very beginning of the sporting year against York St John University and one at the end against local rivals Teesside University.

These two events are both an important part of the sporting calendar and are a great opportunity for students to enjoy some friendly competition outside of the usual BUCS competition, as well as claiming bragging rights!

The two competitions also give students who aren’t part of a sports team the chance to come along and support their University teams as well as providing volunteering opportunities for those students interested in event management, marketing and PR.

The events are also covered extensively by our in house sports media platform SportsByte and its team of student reporters who, as well as match reports, provide as it happens coverage of the events.
