Sport<br />
When you come to Essex, you will have the<br />
opportunity to get involved in sport, from<br />
recreational to elite level.<br />
Our Sports Federation runs over<br />
40 different clubs who welcome new<br />
members. Most provide basic coaching,<br />
giving you a perfect excuse to try<br />
something new, like climbing or gliding,<br />
or to perfect existing skills. Levels are<br />
varied and cost is minimal.<br />
Our sports facilities have been included<br />
in the official LOCOG pre-games training<br />
camp guide for both the Olympic and<br />
Paralympic Games in 2012.<br />
Sports bursaries<br />
We have a bursary scheme to help<br />
athletes competing at national or<br />
international level meet the costs of elite<br />
participation. This provides a personal and<br />
academic mentor, free access to University<br />
and Borough sports facilities, extensive<br />
sports science support from our Human<br />
Performance Unit, guaranteed on-campus<br />
accommodation at our Colchester<br />
Campus for the duration of study and<br />
substantial financial support. For more<br />
