The PGSA organises a variety of sports teams, activities and events for all postgraduates. During your time here at Nottingham , we hope to get you involved in a number of ways. We enter teams into inter-mural leagues and tournaments, and organise one-day events and taster sessions, with activities ranging from fun runs and climbing, to 5-aside tournaments and water sports. Alongside this, there also various other postgraduate clubs you can join, and plenty of Students' Union activities to get stuck into.

Our teams and events are organised for fun, and offer a great chance for postgrads to improve their fitness, make new friends and, of course, have fun at the same time! So what are you waiting for?
