An Olympic-size swimming and diving pool in the University grounds was inaugurated for the fifth Games of the Small States of Europe in May, 1993. Students can benefit from special rates for the use of the pool. A multi-purpose sports hall was also completed recently.
The University Sports Club Committee, composed of elected students together with the sports director, organises inter-faculty competitions during the academic year. University teams in football, volleyball, table-tennis, handball, sailing and wrestling take part in national competitions.
