Rowing

With an outstanding history of rowing success, Oxford Brookes University Boat Club’s High Performance Programme is supported by the GB Rowing Team and funded by the National Lottery.

Oxford Brookes University Boat Club has a track record of coaching rowers to challenge for a place in the GB Rowing national team and is committed to British Rowing’s World Class Performance Strategy. 

Starting in 2022, the club now operates a Learn to Row programme which provides opportunities for students who are not in the performance squad to row while at Oxford Brookes.
