A 5 minute rundown of everything Students’ Union UCL

10 September 2020

We’re here to help you do more at UCL, we’re the place where more happens.

Two students talking

Good news - you’re a member of Students’ Union UCL, but what does that membership get you?

We’re your route to 328 Clubs and Societies, countless volunteering opportunities, part-time jobs that fit around your studies, events, great places to eat, drink and chill in, an Advice Service when you need it, and if you want to make lasting change at UCL, we can help you do that too.

Now that you’re a student at UCL, you’ve automatically got access to all the wonderful things we have to offer, and we hope you make the most of it.

Volunteering 

There are thousands of ways for you to do more and make a difference during your time here. While you're at it, you'll be giving back to the communities you’re living in, discovering London in a unique way and also adding valuable experience onto your CV. 

Our Volunteering Service is here to help you start your volunteering journey.

Find a volunteering opportunity led by students, a one-off project or community organisation that needs your time. 

Sports

Thousands of students stay active through the Students’ Union. If you're looking for something ad hoc and low-key, look out for Project Active. If you want to follow your passion for a particular sport and compete in national leagues, join TeamUCL. If you're at the top of your game, Elite Athlete is the programme for you. 

Find out about the range of sports on offer to you.

Clubs and Societies

Tea Appreciation Society welcomes those who drink their tea with their pinkie up and down, but if tea isn’t your thing, we’ve got over 327 other Clubs and Societies for you to choose from.

These are groups that will help you make friends, pursue your hobbies and add extra skills to your CV. 

Find out more about our clubs and societies.

Help and Advice

Life isn’t always easy but we’re always here to give you support when you need us. We’re here to care about the things you care about, and fight for you when you need someone in your corner.

If you need help or advice - we’re here. 

Student Voice 

We’re all in this together, and when we say ‘we’, we mean everyone at UCL; students, academics, support staff. What UCL is now and what it will be in the future is down to us, the UCL community.

Your voice is central to the progress UCL makes. Make change through feeding back about your experience: why not become a rep to work in partnership to make change across UCL and shape UCL as UCL shapes you? 

Make change.

Places for you

We’re not-for-profit which means that every penny we make in our cafés, bars, gym and shop goes back to you through the services we provide; all of the services and opportunities we’ve just listed above are funded by your daily coffee - thanks!

Our spaces are your spaces and places we hope you’ll call home.
