Team UCL are leading the way with supporting talented athletes, having been accredited by an innovative Talented Athlete Scholarship Scheme (TASS) initiative.
The Sport England-backed programme supports young sportspeople on the talent pathway to gain qualifications alongside their sporting pursuits, follow other interests, as well as further their personal development.
By formally recognising an institution’s commitment to supporting student-athletes, the TASS Dual Career Accreditation Scheme aims to allow athletes to reach their potential in education alongside achieving success in their sport.
As a Dual Career Accredited Site, UCL will be an important extension of the network of universities that already partner with TASS, delivering support services to more than 600 student-athletes each year.
For student-athletes, the academic flexibility policies mean they have the opportunity to access online notes or resources, are able to arrange catch up sessions with teaching staff or reschedule deadlines or exam dates in exceptional circumstances.
