Men's and women's lacrosse players can continue competing while earning a graduate degree overseas, even after they've exhausted their U.S. college eligibility. The UK and Australia offer different ways to keep playing.
What lacrosse looks like in the UK and Australia
United Kingdom. Players can represent their university in British Universities & Colleges Sport (BUCS), which runs men's and women's lacrosse leagues and knockout competitions. Many UK taught master's degrees take 12 months, so players can pursue a graduate degree and compete in the same academic year.
Australia. UniSport Australia included mixed Lacrosse 5s at its 2026 Nationals, where students could compete for universities that entered a team. For a regular field lacrosse season, local clubs in Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth offer men's and women's leagues.
