Being involved in a sports club, the arts, a society, or a community-led project while studying is what truly makes your experience at UCL unforgettable. That's why we believe the students who help these communities thrive are invaluable, playing a really important role in creating the memories at UCL that will last a lifetime. 

Each year, we celebrate the achievements of these clubs, societies, and individuals who have had a significant impact on student life at our four annual awards ceremonies at the end of May.

Here's what Ana, your Activities and Engagement Officer, has to say about this years' awards: ‘This year there have been so many achievements from our students across various areas! I am looking forward to awards to hear all those amazing stories and to celebrate the successes of our community’.

The shortlist 

From Arts Personality of the Year to Best New Society and Sports Club of the Year, our awards are presented to those who have gone above and beyond, making the greatest contribution to our UCL communities. After receiving over 1760 nominations, we can now reveal the shortlist for each category and award. 

Receptions, ceremonies and after parties 

Each of the awards ceremonies will be taking place on Thursday 29 May and Friday 30 May in the Bloomsbury Theatre, and we will be hosting exclusive drinks receptions and after parties at The Institute Bar. This is your official invitation to get glammed up and come together to celebrate in style. Book your tickets to the Bloomsbury Theatre shows now as seats are selling out fast. 

We can’t wait to recognise those who have helped make UCL a better place, going above and beyond to create the best student experience possible.
