Welcome!
Through our ethos of community engaged research, we offer master's students the opportunity to create a co-produced thesis or undertake a research volunteering opportunity.
Acting as a bridge between research and the voluntary sectors, we empower students to engage with different forms of knowledge and research practices than you might be taught in the classroom.

Invest in your dissertation
Our programme is here to create a more meaningful dissertation experience for master's students at UCL. Our work is driven by our value of authentic knowledge democracy and our desire to act as a bridge between the voluntary sector and the university.

Research volunteering
Put your academic skills to work outside of the classroom by conducting research for charities, community groups and non-profits on a voluntary basis.
It's an excellent way to hone your skills, develop cross-sector experience and make a genuine positive impact with research.
