And just like that, Welcome Week is over! Now it's time to find your group. Say hello to your community, join that society, and let the fun begin. Here's why it's a must-do for all of you, whether you're new or coming back to UCL, to get involved.
We've got 400+ clubs and societies for you to dive into. Whether you're into theatre, lacrosse, or K-Pop, we've got your back. Clubs and societies are your golden ticket to finding your crew on campus.
Looking for some inspo? Here are some things you have told us you love about finding your group.
Finding your community
"Stage Crew is the loveliest community and I get to be in a theatre in the middle of uni! ❤️"
"Through Running & Athletics, I have made some of my closest friends"
"Being part of a family with Sikh Society."
"Pole Fitness taught me to love my body for being strong."
"Pure Krav Maga is such a great community - I learned new skills and met some amazing people!"
"ArtsUCL is my home! Found community and healing! Shoutout to Musical Theatre Soc."
Joining a society doesn't have to break the bank...
Participation Fund
We want to help you get involved in co-curricular and extra-curricular activities, no matter your financial situation. The Participation Fund is a pot of money you can apply for to get financial assistance, helping you to partake in clubs and societies. The funds will be awarded based on an individual’s financial needs and can be used to help cover the costs of membership fees, or any other associated costs (such as kit, specialist equipment, travel, or room hire for example).
Here are a few clubs and societies that cost £5 or under to join...
TEDx Society - £3
Guitar Society - £5
Beekeeping Society - Free!
So, what are you waiting for? The doors to these epic societies are wide open. Dive in, sign up for their free taster sessions, and let's find your campus crew.
