Cultural Chameleon

Are you a Cultural Chameleon interested in what intercultural events the Union has to offer during Welcome Week? Well, you’ve come to the right place!

London is a huge melting pot of different cultures, traditions and stories, so there’s no city better to spend your Welcome Week in! 

If getting out to London venues is more your style, have a look at the various theatre and museum trips!


Night Owls

London is such an incredible city with the best clubs around so you will be spoilt for choice!  

If you want to make all our dedicated nights out, I’d definitely recommend purchasing the Nightlife wristband – this wristband will get you access to all our nightlife events meaning you won’t miss a night out this Welcome.

You can also purchase individual tickets if you want a couple nights off through the week.


Sporty Panther

TeamUCL is your home of sport throughout your time at UCL, we love all things Sports and fitness, and the Students’ Union has a great range of activities on offer during welcome week.

Wednesday is the day for Sports here and it’s a day you definitely don’t want to miss being on campus!  

If you're a pro athlete to somehow who just likes to move, we have everything for you. From our elite programme to our project active programme.


Creative Capybara

We’ve got a whole range of things for you to get involved with during welcome week, from fashion shows to theatre trips, crafternoons to stand-up comedy!  

Get ready to dive into a week that’s bursting with art, music and lots of opportunities to meet like-minded people. It could be something you’ve done before, or you might unearth a brand-new talent! 


Book Worm

You know UCL is THE best place study... but are you ready to see what else we have to offer?
