REGISTRATION & ORIENTATION GUIDE 2019S P O R T A D M I N I S T R AT I O N 7
Sport at the University of the Western Cape has, as everything else associated with this
institution, grown rapidly over the past five decades when the university was established in 1959.
From one sport offered in 1965, UWC boasts 22 sporting codes today and our athletes
consistently excel on the field of play.
This we have achieved through strategic investment in our infrastructure, facilities and coaching
staff. Because at UWC we believe that we must strive to be excellent in all our activities, be it in
the realm of learning and teaching, research and innovation or on the sports field.
The result of our investment and commitment to our athletes is shown in UWC being ranked in
the Top 6 tier of South African university sport.
But what we are most proud of is the development of our student athletes across many codes,
particularly the five – cricket, rugby, football, athletics and swimming – that we have identified
as our flagship disciplines.
At UWC, we believe in our students’ potential to develop their skills and broaden their horizon
and we extend this philosophy to our entire campus community. It is for this reason that we
place significant emphasis on our ongoing plans to foster a health and wellbeing culture on
campus.
Ours is an abiding commitment to developing sports within the University because it plays a vital
role in the full educational experience of all students at UWC.
