Welcome 2026
Welcome Week is one of the biggest and most influential moments in the student calendar - bringing thousands of students together as they arrive on campus, discover new experiences and start shaping their university lives.
From International Arrivals from Monday 21 September, through to the main Welcome Week programme from Monday 28 September, UCL comes alive with a packed schedule of events, activations and experiences. For brands, businesses and charities, it’s a unique opportunity to get in front of a highly engaged student audience at exactly the moment they are most open to discovering something new. Across large-scale fairs, society showcases, social events and campus-wide activity, Welcome Week generates exceptional footfall, energy and engagement across UCL’s most prominent locations. Students are exploring, socialising, making connections and establishing the routines and brand preferences that can shape their university experience, creating a powerful environment for brands to build awareness, trial and lasting affinity.
Welcome Fair - Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 October
The annual Welcome Fair takes place on Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 October, attracting 8,000+ students per day, with the heart of the action centred around UCL’s iconic Main Quad. Whether you want to launch a product, drive sampling and trial, create an interactive experience, build brand awareness or become part of students’ first days at UCL, Welcome Week offers an unrivalled platform to make an impression. Put your brand where students are discovering, connecting and starting something new.
