Kinesis Magazine is UCL's favourite and nationally recognised student Science Publication. We were shortlisted for "Best Science Piece" and "Best Science Publication" at the Student Publication Association National Conference for 2024. In addition, we have been shortlisted for "Diversity" and won "Most Developed Arts Society" in 2022. More recently we won "Best Multimedia Pieces" recognising the incredible work of our Kinesis Podcast team.
We are the home for diverse and cutting-edge science communication, ranging from journalism, art, podcasts, and short-form content. Our aim is to intrigue all students at UCL about the work that is produced on campus, within London and internationally.
The magazine has previously been shortlisted for Best Science Publication at the SPA Awards multiple times as well as having won "Best Science Piece". We have also been shortlisted for Best publication at the UCL Student Union Arts Awards.
