University College Boat Club (commonly abbreviated to UCBC) is the rowing club for all members of University College, Oxford ("Univ"). UCBC is based out of the college's own boathouse on the towpath side of the Isis.[2]

Univ is one of the more successful college clubs in Oxford, having won multiple headships for both their Men's and Women's crews at the annual intercollegiate bumps races: Torpids and Summer Eights.[3]
