Solent University is proud to be accredited by the Talented Athlete Scholarship Scheme (TASS) initiative.
By recognising an institution’s commitment to supporting student athletes, the TASS Dual Career Accreditation Scheme enables athletes to reach their potential in education alongside achieving success in their sport.
As well as being a Dual Career Accredited Centre, Solent Sport is part of a network of universities that partner with TASS, delivering core support services to more than 400 student athletes each year, including: physiotherapy, nutrition, lifestyle support, psychology, strength and conditioning, and a private medical scheme.
While some of the existing services delivered focus solely on developing the young person’s sporting performance, a dual career support structure and academic flexibility policies are central to the help available to athletes based at an accredited centre.
At Solent, we have a dedicated athlete support officer and TASS lead. They work with all of our Dual Career athletes on a 121 basis and are available to support our students with balancing their sport commitments, their studies, and developing interests away from sport, enabling them to achieve their full potential.
