Welcome to the Home of Liberty at UCL 🏛️
The UCL Libertarian Society is a student-led platform dedicated to the exploration of individual liberty, limited government, and free-market economics. Whether you are a classical liberal, a libertarian, a conservative, or simply curious about these ideas, we provide a respectful and intellectually stimulating environment for all students.
Our Core Principles
We operate under three foundational pillars:
- Free Speech: We champion the open exchange of ideas and the right to challenge the status quo.
- Free Minds: We encourage independent thought and the development of personal beliefs through rigorous debate.
- Free Markets: We explore the power of economic freedom and its role in human flourishing.
What We Do
As a member, you gain access to a wide range of activities designed to sharpen your speaking skills and broaden your horizons:
- Guest Lectures & Talks: We invite prominent academics, policy experts, and public figures to share insights on current political and economic issues.
- Structured Debates: Join our regular forums to practice respectful disagreement and develop your public speaking abilities.
- The Society Library: Access our unique collection texts on liberty, available for all members to borrow.
- Social Events: From informal meetups to themed gatherings, we foster a supportive community where you can meet like-minded peers.
- Professional Workshops: Gain a competitive edge with sessions on policy writing, economic skills, and networking for careers in think tanks and public policy.
Join the Conversation
We believe that the best way to develop your ideas is to test them. We welcome students from all backgrounds and viewpoints to join our community and help us promote a culture of liberty on campus.
