About Blues awards and what they represent. For those of you just starting your University journey make sure you keep a record of your fixtures during your time here at Bath so when the time comes you are ready to complete the application.

The Blues Awards is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate all that sport has had to offer throughout the year at the University of Bath.

The Blues Awards ceremony is the annual celebration of student sport, organised by The SU Bath. Recipients receive certificates awarded by the University of Bath, providing evidence of dedication and ability to balance sporting commitments alongside their studies. Skills that are fondly looked upon by future employers.

The awards recognise outstanding performance and contribution to student sport here at Bath. We celebrate the sporting achievements of over a hundred and fifty students each year, recognising their hard work and dedication to their sport, club, and university.

Blues include accolades to recognise as many of our sporting population as possible so please do take a look at the awards on offer as many of you will meet the criteria outlined below and you should consider applying in future years.
