An annual sports card is available for a nominal fee which allows access to the facilities at Corstorphine. Although there are no sports facilities at the Leith or Gateway Campuses, arrangements have been made for sports card holders to use local facilities either free or at a reduced rate. There are a number of sporting clubs run by the Students' Association, mainly based at the Corstorphine Campus, including fencing, karate, badminton, basketball, volleyball, athletics and swimming. Some clubs are run jointly with Heriot Watt University and others may be based at independent clubs. Coaching courses are offered in tennis, squash, golf and self defence and there are instruction classes in swimming and life-saving as well as a selection of keep fit classes.
Classes are purely recreational and the emphasis is on fun.
