A vibrant social life

As soon as you join UCL you become a member of the Students’ Union and can start taking advantage of all the things it has to offer – like joining as many of the 360 clubs and societies as you want. They’re your social group on campus, your support network and route to experiences you won’t find anywhere else.

With UCL’s multi-million-pound investment in transforming student life, we’re creating thousands more inclusive opportunities to play sport, explore the arts, volunteer and experience the amazing culture and diversity of our community.

TeamUCL is the collective name for all of our sports teams at UCL. They compete nationally against universities across the UK and there are lots of ways for you to get involved and play and train regularly. You can also stay active through the Union’s social sport programme, disability sport programme, or no-experience-necessary Project Active programme.

Beyond clubs and societies, the Union can help you find volunteering opportunities in London, lead projects to make positive change and give you impartial advice and support when you need it most.
