Sport Student

UEL's tennis programme is ranked no.1 in London and in the top 8 in the UK.

Tennis at UEL

The UEL tennis team rosters consist of WTA and ATP ranked players from Britain and all over the world. Our teams compete at the highest level for UK universities with our men's in the BUCS National League and our women's in the BUCS South A

We have regularly medalled at the annual BUCS Championships, and carried home two gold medals in 2012 by way of Anna Fitzpatrick (women's singles) and Johnny Parkes and Marshall Tutu (men's doubles). Anna, a former junior Wimbledon semi-finalist, also represented Great Britain at the World University Games in Kazan, Russia in 2013.

We focus on creating and providing the coaching, support, and environment where players can improve their games and climb the rankings.

London

London may be steeped in history but it’s also a rapidly changing city at the cutting edge of business, science and art.

We are the world’s No 1 city for foreign companies expanding their businesses, and we have three times more European multinational headquarters than any other European city. It means there are rich opportunities for work placements and internships.

London is a city that offers something for everyone – iconic buildings and monuments, world-renowned galleries and museums, famous sports venues and theatres, well-known shopping districts and a vast choice of bars and restaurants catering for all tastes and budgets.

All this will be right on your doorstep if you study at the University of East London. Central London is less than half an hour away from our two campuses by public transport – or just seven minutes if you travel by high-speed rail from Stratford. 

For me, coming to UEL was the best decision because I found the perfect balance between sport and study, whilst being challenged on a daily basis."
