Discover Intramural Sport

The University of Nottingham is proud to run one of the largest intramural sport programmes in the UK.

Over three-thousand students a year participate in Nottingham’s IMS scheme, engaging in sport within their hall, alongside course-mates and amongst friends. With a range of thirteen different sports to experience, from mixed badminton to women’s seven-a-side football, IMS provides a route for all abilities to #FindYourActive. Find out more below about some of our students experiences at the university participating in our IMS programme.

“When I first heard about IMS, I assumed it was only for On Campus Accommodation, but it caters for all types of accommodation and abilities, allowing off campus students to get to know different halls. I joined IMS in First Year, expecting to be out of my depth as someone who had not joined BUCS – but everyone was so friendly, it was an excellent way to broaden my horizons at Nottingham.”

Hannah, English Student.

 

“It’s a great way to go out and socialise, whilst still playing a game you love – I would recommend it to anyone joining, as a fresher or any year.”

“After not managing to join the BUCS Netball teams in my First Year, I thought I had missed out on playing my favourite sport at University. However, after a few weeks I realised my Hall, Cripps had a team – and turned up one Wednesday afternoon to play. I ended my first term at Nottingham as Captain. IMS carved many of my key friendships at Nottingham, allowing me to improve on my netball – and spurring me on to apply for an executive position within IMS in my final year.”

Issy, History Student.

During our All-Star event in June, we also asked our students to describe the university’s intramural sports programme in one word. Their answers included the words social, rewarding, friendly, competitive and inclusive.
