Intervarsity

As a UC student, intervarsity sport lets you compete against other Australian tertiary institutions in a social, fun and competitive environment.

From the Black Mountain Battle to InTRIvarsity, there are plenty of opportunities for you to represent your university and broaden your student social network.

Nestled between the University of Canberra (UC) and Australian National University (ANU) campus lives one of Canberra's most iconic landscapes - Black Mountain.  The Black Mountain Battle is an annual intervarsity clash between UC & ANU to decide which of the two locally-based universities will take out the champion title. Each university will enter one team for each sport, showcasing our top student athletes. The event is held across two dates with both campus' having the opportunity to host.
