Students

Of the approximately 550 clubs affiliated to the ARA around 150 of these are clubs just for students. University is not only a great place to row but university boat clubs often provide a vibrant social scene as well. Whether you're a newcomer to rowing or an experienced oarsman university rowing can provide something for you.

If you're into competing there are many different competitions available to you as a student. Universities can compete at all levels from novice to elite at BUCS events whilst certain universities have developed a match race against a local rival.

British Universities & Colleges Sport (previously BUSA & UCS) run a number of rowing competitions throughout the year for universities.
