The Student Sport Company celebrates first intake!

Midway through the 2021/22 academic year, we proudly launched The Student Sport Company with the ambition of expanding our work in UK University Sport recruitment.

Upon launch, we immediately began working with students and families who were looking to start their higher education in September 2023.

Now, just a little over 18 months into this exciting journey, we take immense pride in witnessing the very first cohort of Student Sport Company clients step onto the campuses of their chosen UK universities.

This represents the first academic year that International Sporting Solutions has celebrated an intake via multiple brands. Launched in 2017, Play Overseas has focused on helping former US based collegiate athletes move to the UK for their postgraduate education.

This work has continued as normal over the last year, though the addition of The Student Sport Company has seen as reach more markets than ever before.

International Sporting Solutions Director, Harry Newton commented:

“We are really pleased with how The Student Sport Company has started.

The first group of incoming student-athletes are extremely diverse in terms of their nationalities, level of study and sporting backgrounds. 

We feel that this diversity is of great benefit to all of our partner institutions, in terms of both sport recruitment and international enrolments”.

We recently spoke to several of our incoming international students who were part of The Student Sport Company’s first intake. You can read their thoughts here.

As we welcome our incoming 2023 student-athletes to campus, our preparations for the September 2024 applicants are already underway. For any institutions looking to explore partnering with us to enhance their 2024 intake, please contact us here.
