Welcome to the Department of Sport of the University of Technology, Jamaica
Our Mission: To develop and maintain the highest quality sport program

The Department of Sport provides a wide array of sporting programmes for students and staff. As an integral part of our students’ educational experience, they may compete in intramural and intercollegiate competitions as well as national and international competitions.

Our Intercollegiate programmes include track and field (our flagship sport), football, netball, basketball, volleyball, cricket, table tennis, badminton and Rugby. 

We provide dedicated support systems to ensure athletes’ physical and mental well-being. Incorporating these systems with programmes such as sports science and management prepares students for careers in sports beyond the playing field.

Our department actively engages with the wider community through partnerships with local organisations. These initiatives aim to inspire the next generation of athletes while fostering a culture of sportsmanship and collaboration.
