“Rowing at UL was the best thing I did for my career. If you want to win some silverware, earn a world class degree or have aspirations of making the national team then this is where you’ll want to be. I wouldn’t be where I am now without UL and I continue to be proud to be purple.”
Oonagh Cousins

“Studying my masters at Birkbeck College allowed me to juggle my studies with my rowing and part time work in the city. Transport around London is a major help getting from the boat club into lectures and Birkbeck has lots of places to lock up bikes if that’s how I chose to travel. UL was versatile in adapting my training programme when university or work required more attention. London is an amazingly diverse city and studying there can give people a foot in the door when applying for jobs at the end of the year.”

“My time at UL has given me not only a degree from one of the best universities in the world and a successful career as a GB rower, but also friends and a family I’ll have for life.”
