U Sport at the University offers something for everyone, whether you want to compete at club level, join a gym or play sport just for fun.
The Peak District National Park, one of the most spectacular areas of natural beauty in the country, borders Sheffield and is only minutes away by car or bus. Perfect for walkers, mountain-bikers, climbers and anyone who loves the outdoors.
