The University has a strong willingness and desire to be involved in the Games in 2012. Our engineering excellence continues to support UK Sport and our facilities have been selected as official Pre Games Training Camps by LOCOG. There are plenty of opportunities for you to celebrate the Games. The University is planning a series of Olympic inspired events throughout the run up to the Games; you can volunteer in the local community or perhaps you've got what it takes to be a Games Maker.
