The University of East London (UEL) has received recognition from the International Olympic Committee, joining an exclusive group of five UK institutions. This endorsement from the British Olympic Association opens up new opportunities for students and academics alike, enhancing their existing Olympic studies programs. Various courses at UEL already incorporate Olympic-related content, covering areas from sports science to journalism. The university also houses the British Olympic Association archive, documenting the development of Team GB and the Olympic movement in the UK.
"East London and the University of East London have a strong connection with the Olympics. This recognition by the International Olympic Committee is a fantastic opportunity for UEL to continue this legacy, fostering enhanced opportunities for Olympic related teaching, community outreach and research."
"Our goal is to make the British Olympic archive discoverable and accessible through research and community engagement. We want to engage global communities with our Olympic heritage and emphasise how sports have a positive effect on society."
