UCFB Student Union

At UCFB, the Student Union’s role is to support and represent UCFB students and make their experience as exciting and rewarding as possible, as well as presenting students with as many opportunities as it can.

The Union is also responsible for student involvement; ranging from coordinating ambassadors and aiding communication with UCFB management, to planning events and sustaining sports teams, clubs and societies. Each of us in the Student Union has been democratically elected for our posts and as a result take great pride in our roles at UCFB. We promise to fulfil them to the very best of our abilities, in the hope that current and future students thoroughly enjoy their time at UCFB and are well represented at all times.

In addition to nights out and quizzes, we also organise sports events and annual football trips such as Saloufest.

When we’re not studying, students are usually in UCFB’s Student Union, having a beer chatting about the day’s lectures or executive speakers. Also there is Sky Sports to keep up to date on what’s happening in the leagues and a full screen Playstation, and a Quiet Study area for getting on with assignments and research.

UCFB Athletics Union

Sport is an important part of student life at UCFB.

The UCFB Athletic Union facilitates all students to take part in sport of some nature during their academic career, even if it is just as a spectator. With both competitive and recreational activities being played every Wednesday afternoon during term time, it is the perfect opportunity to get involved and represent UCFB in the Football, Futsal, Rugby or Tennis teams, amongst others such as martial arts.

There are also plenty of opportunities for extreme sports, whether you’re an expert or simply looking for a new hobby. For example, you can join our snow sports society for regular trips to the UK’s longest indoor skiing and snowboarding slope. Spend an afternoon in the stunning Lancashire countryside for a round of golf with friends; it’s all available on your door step at UCFB. At our UCFB Burnley campus, students are fortunate to have access to training at Burnley Football Club’s training ground and facilities too.

UCFB cater for all sporting needs. There are abundant opportunities to set up new sports teams, write reports on crucial matches throughout the year or even get involved from an organisational perspective. It’s a great way to improve your social scene, develop your sporting skills and keep fit during your time at university.
