University is a big, exciting place. But life isn’t always easy. We’re here to give you support when you need us, care about the things you care about, and fight for you when need someone in your corner. Our job is to make sure you feel supported every day.
We live by four promises. Four reasons our cafes, bars, shops and gym feel different to those elsewhere: we put every penny of profit back into your community, we’re always better value than the high-street, we’re at the centre of your campus community, and we choose planet over profit.
Together, we can make the world around us better, on campus and beyond. UCL is yours, so shape it. We’re led by students and that means you’re in charge.
If you can imagine it, there’s probably a society for it. Wherever your curiosity takes you, whatever passion inspires you, you’ll find a home in our student-led groups.
We’ll keep you active in a way that works for you. Sport is for everyone, and we’ll help you find your level. From a casual class to captaining a competitive club, live an active lifestyle with us.
This is how you make a difference during your time here, and while you’re at it, add valuable stuff to your CV, give back to the communities you’re living in and discover London in a unique way.
Our events are designed to help you meet people, try new things and have fun. Events are for everyone, but we’ve highlighted ones that are family friendly or good for postgrads. Enjoy!
With prevention at the heart of what we do, the Mental Health Foundation aim to find and address the sources of mental health problems so that people and communities can thrive.
We are looking for a volunteer photographer (this could be a photography student or someone who has skills in this area) to come along to our London Marathon cheer point on Sunday 2nd October 2022, to capture pictures of our runners, and then come to our post-race reception to take some photos of our runners and their families after the race. This will be a really fun day as there is a great atmosphere at this event, and you will be given a break and food will be provided on the day, as well as travel expenses paid for,
If there are two photography students interested in the opportunity, we can split the day between them e.g. one can come to the cheer point and one can come to the post race reception.
This is a one off event, although there could be other opportunities similar to this in future. The day will start at 9am and finish at about 5pm, with a lunch break and food included. There will be a member of the Mental Health Foundation team at both the cheer point and post race reception who you can go to, to ask any questions. You must have your own camera to bring along on the day, and e-mail all photographs to us after the event.
