Classics Society

Welcome to the UCL Classics Society!

Our membership includes students from many different courses and departments across UCL who are interested in Classics and are looking to meet new people. You do not need to know anything about the ancient Mediterranean or Latin and Greek to join!

Each year we host a variety of weekly events, including regular socials and quizzes, academic lectures, museum and gallery trips, 'amphora' painting, quiz nights and our renowned end of term formals.

There are two types of membership on offer: Taster & Standard. All of our events at the start of the year until the beginning of November will be open to both, but as the year progresses and from the Toga Party on the 3rd of November onwards Standard membership will be required!

This is to give you the opportunity to see the full range of events that we will be offering for the rest of the academic year.

As always, updates and event posts will be available on our Instagram page and our Whatsapp community:

Student groups are run by UCL students and facilitated by Students’ Union UCL. The Union is an educational charity and part of how it supports the education of students at UCL is through facilitating a diverse range of opportunities for students to run, join and experience different interests, groups and activities. Each student group decides its own events, activities and views (within our risk management framework).

Student groups are intended to represent the full range of views amongst our diverse student community. The Union does not endorse, approve or speak for any student group, and their statements and activities do not represent the Union’s position.
