I went to University in the UK and there was no requirement to do any sport. 
In fact, our "Director of Studies" made it very clear to us that we were 
there to learn Engineering, if we wanted to become sportspeople we should 
leave and go to another University that offers some sort of sport degree. 
One guy was actually kicked out because he refused to do less sport (he was 
on course to fail, and had been repeatedly warned).

Saying that though, of course we were encouraged to join a few club and 
societies (not just sports ones) just to get your mind off work regularly.
