The one hour highlights show will be broadcast on Wednesday 7 April at 19.00 on Sky Sports 3 with further repeats on the same day and 8 April over a combination of Sky Sports 2 and Sky Sports 3.
Featured sports include hockey, basketball, athletics, fencing and football as well as interviews with World Champion Triathlete Alistair Brownlee and Olympic sprinter Jeanette Kwakye.
BUCS is the national organisation for higher sport in the UK. It represents 150 universities and colleges and manages the development and competition programme for 50 sports.
Jenni Anderson, Head of Communications, Commercial & Marketing at BUCS is delighted that Sky agreed to broadcast highlights of the event. "The BUCS Championships was a fantastic five days of high quality student sport and to have it profiled on Sky Sports is a great achievement for everyone involved.
The programme highlights the breadth and depth of student sport in this country, profiling many of our elite performers, some of whom will be representing Great Britain in the London 2012 Olympics and future Games."
