Lunch Hour Lectures Bring your lunch and your curiosity

Our famous Lunch Hour Lectures return this autumn.

Bring your lunch and your curiosity. Listen to exciting talks led by UCL’s experts about the quest for the first galaxies, the Cuban economy and data, media and democracy.

Festivals Help us to change the world at the Bloomsbury Festival! Find your inner radical to start an activist campaign and discover the future of art, science and artificial intelligence.

Family Get hands on with the specimens at the UCL Grant Museum of Zoology, and create works of art inspired by the weird and wonderful animals that call it home.

Exhibitions View our students’ spectacular work at the the UCL Bartlett School of Architecture B-Pro Show and don’t miss the chance to see inside the UCL Pathology Museum as part of London’s Open House weekend!
