About the Showcase

Organised by Trusted Experts in UK University Sport

The UK University Sport Showcase is proudly organised by the experienced team behind The Student Sport Company.

Founded to support international student-athletes, The Student Sport Company has helped students from over 60 countries find the right UK university to pursue both their academic and sporting ambitions. From recruitment and coach connections to navigating admissions, sports scholarships, and UCAS applications — we’ve guided hundreds of students into UK university sport.

Over time, we noticed that many of our students — and their families — wanted more than online calls and virtual tours. They wanted to experience life as a student-athlete first-hand.

The UK University Sport Showcase was created to make that possible.
