World University Championships

Major events of University Sport (above and beyond the Australian University Games) are the Summer and Winter Universiades and the World University Championships. 

The spreading of university sport in the world created a new series of meetings and competitions to complete the program of the Universiades. The International University Sports Federation (FISU) supports the competitions which represent the continuity of university sport and allows for further events to take place outside of the Universiade.

In 2004, there were a total of  25 World University Championships that attracted 4,845 participants from a total of 186 countries. In 2006, FISU staged 27 WUCs attracting 5,852 participants from a total of 209 countries and for 2008, 30 WUCs are attributed.

In 2010 Monash University has been chosen to host the World University Squash Championships, click here for more information.
