Welcome to the UCL Sikh Society! Open to everyone from all backgrounds, we are dedicated to cultivating a nurturing and inclusive Sangat (community), where students can safely and authentically practice their faith. Guided by the principle of Nirbhau Nirvair (without fear, without hate), we strive to promote an environment of mutual respect, sharing the universal, egalitarian teachings of Sikhi with everyone.

We understand that Sikhi is a journey and that everyone is at a different stage. Therefore, we provide a non-judgemental, pressure-free space for our generation to learn at their own pace. We seek to elevate our community through the harmonisation of two essential spheres: Miri and Piri.

Social Justice & Civic Duty (Miri) Championing social justice and Sarbat da Bhala (the universal flourishing of all humanity), we put our collective commitment to Sewa (selfless service) into practice. You can actively participate through our Volunteering Nights with NishkamSWAT to help feed the homeless in Central London.

Inner Growth & Intellectual Rigour (Piri) To nurture inner growth and epistemological truth through Simran (conscious remembrance), we provide comprehensive spiritual and educational spaces to help build a compassionate, intellectually rigorous community:

  • Sikh Studies Course: A 15-week academic programme running across two terms, diving deeply into Sikh culture, history, and ideology.
  • Weekly Rehraas & Kirtan: Consistent weekly spaces for spiritual reflection and connection, which perfectly complement our larger Kirtan Darbars and our Annual Langar on Campus.
  • Historical & Creative Workshops: We host interactive workshops focused on revitalising the roots of our history, featuring creative hands-on sessions, author panels, and open discussions (usually accompanied by samosas, mithai, and even Domino's!).

Community & Careers

  • Socials: Meet like-minded individuals and make friends for life through fun, interactive events like Bowling, Mini-Golf, and Games Nights.
  • Careers Network & Alumni Events: Connect with Sikh professionals across various industries through dedicated networking events and alumni panels to support your professional journey.

We are incredibly excited to meet you all and start interacting very shortly! We are working hard behind the scenes to ensure that you get the most out of the society.
