Welcome Events

Welcome to UCL! This ‘Welcome Events’ page summarises the events happening for new students during the welcome period. Find out more about talks and seminars that will help you settle into university.

All Students

Campus tours

Campus tours will be running throughout welcome week on both our Bloomsbury and East campuses. They are designed to show you around different locations on campus including places to study, eat, where your lectures may be. These will be walk-up tours, no need to book! 

For students starting in January, we'll be running campus tours on the Bloomsbury Campus. If you're starting outside of the main welcome periods, why not go on a self guided tour?

Support Services Fair

The Support Services Fair allows you to connect with UCL experts who can help with skill development, starting a business, volunteering, job hunting, health support, and more. 

There's also the chance to win a £50 Love2Shop voucher to buy your first term essentials. The fair will run in January, with more details added later in the year. 

International Students 

Our international student events are tailored to help new students settle into life in the UK. These sessions provide valuable insights on topics such as balancing academics and personal life and ensuring safety in London.

We have a mixture of pre-arrival and post-arrival events. Check the international student orientation pages for more information. Some events will run in January 2025.
