On Monday 16 June 2008, a new company will open to represent the interests of those managing, competing and participating in university sport across the higher education sector. British Universities & Colleges Sport (BUCS) will incorporate two related sports organisations – British Universities Sports Association (the governing body for competitive sport in the HE sector) and University and College Sport (the representative body for professional sporting staff working in the HE sector).

The BUCS vision is to establish a world-class higher education sporting organisation. We will achieve this by:
•    Supporting members to provide first-class facilities, programmes and services to enable participation;
•    Excellence in high quality performance sport infrastructure;
•    Delivery of world-class HE-based competition structures; and
•    Leading innovative sports development.

 

The BUCS logo (pictured) incorporates the new name of the organisation and will be available for member institutions for use from Monday 16 June, when the new organisation comes into effect.
