Student Life

The term ‘university’ can sound daunting, especially when it’s a long way from home, but at UCAB, the staff are always supportive and go the extra mile to ensure you have the best education and experience whilst you are here.

UCAB offers something to suit everyone including great opportunities for students across all programmes. There are trips, activities, clubs and more!

The Student Union Team works for the entire student body with a mission to deliver an outstanding student experience. The team organises and runs fantastic events, activities and clubs as well as trips on evenings and weekends and fundraising and volunteering opportunities. The Student Union office is open to students to drop in, meet, chat or just say “hi”.
