Read reviews from international students who turned their ambitions of studying and playing sport at UK universities into reality with The Student Sport Company!
Over the past year, we have been proud to support students from around the globe in combining their university education with their sporting ambitions in the UK.
From Southern Africa to Europe, and cricket to tennis, we’ve worked with driven students to help them achieve their goals of playing sport while studying at some of the UK’s leading universities for sport.
