Vision
To be a dynamic and inclusive hub that celebrates and shares the rich cultural heritage, traditions, and values of Saudi Arabia within the UCL community. We aspire to foster cross-cultural understanding, strengthen academic and professional ties, and create meaningful connections between students, alumni, and organisations in both Saudi Arabia and the UK.
Mission
The UCL Saudi Society is dedicated to promoting Saudi culture and fostering a sense of community among UCL students, staff, and alumni. Through diverse cultural, social, educational, and professional initiatives, we aim to:
- Provide a welcoming environment where members can engage in Saudi cultural experiences, including traditional dinners, film screenings, music performances, and national celebrations such as Saudi National Day and Eid.
- Encourage networking through social gatherings, culinary events, and cultural evenings that bring together students from different backgrounds.
- Offer guidance and support to new Saudi students, helping them integrate into UCL and connect with peers from Saudi Arabia and the Gulf region.
- Assist UCL students and staff interested in travelling to Saudi Arabia for academic, cultural, or professional purposes.
- Maintain strong relationships with UCL alumni in Saudi Arabia and abroad, facilitating ongoing professional and social networking opportunities.
- Engage with the local community and external organisations to host meaningful events and strengthen cultural exchange.
- Serve as a point of contact in London for prospective Saudi students seeking information about studying at UCL and life in the UK.
- Collaborate with internal and external entities to organise impactful cultural, academic, and professional activities.
By embracing these goals, we strive to create a supportive and enriching platform that fosters personal, academic, and professional growth while strengthening the cultural bridge between Saudi Arabia and the UCL community.
