In addition, in 2020-21 the University obtained Talented Athlete Scholarship Scheme (TASS) Dual Career Accreditation, recognising our capability in helping talented athletes to reach their potential in education alongside achieving success in their sport. In achieving this accreditation, BNU joins a small number of UK universities to receive external validation for the support and reassurance it already provides to its talented athletes. We currently support 34 studentathletes with stars from Reading Rockets basketball club, the Swim England Performance Centre and Academy. 2.2 DIGITAL In support of the Impact 2022 Strategy, our ‘Building a Digital Learning Organisation’ strategy was developed and formally adopted by the University in January 2021. The strategy aims to transform teaching, learning, research and the delivery of support services through the innovative use of technology and to ensure that everyone can use digital services, data and technology confidently to enhance the student experience.
