British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) is the governing body of University and College sport. Students represent UWE in national competitions against other institutions across the UK.
Most fixtures take place on a Wednesday and some matches and tournaments take place on the weekend.
This year we have entered 59 teams into BUCS. To compete in BUCS you must be a student at UWE studying 60+ credits and have purchased a club membership, you may then be selected to play through trials or recognition.
Come and visit The Students' Union on Frenchay Campus to find out when and where fixtures are taking place.

First aid bags are to be collected prior to any fixture and taken with you to any games (home or away). You must return your team's physio bag as soon as possible after the fixture and notify us of any equipment that needs replenishing. Failure to do so or loss of physio bag will result in said team to be charged with the cost of replacing the physio bag.

BUCS fixtures take place on Wednesday afternoons, with travel for away fixtures potentially clashing with scheduled morning teaching. All lectures should be recorded, and UWE Bristol is committed to avoiding timetabling Undergraduate teaching on a Wednesday afternoon where possible. If you have timetabled teaching activity on a Wednesday afternoon, please speak to your Programme Leader as soon as possible to discuss flexibility for this.
