Results day is on Thursday 6 August. We know this can be a stressful time which is why we’ve put together some useful information about what happens next.

Say hi to Ilyas, Sandy, Carol, Ayman, Jim, Yasmeen and Aarushi...

This is just the first step of a long-term process for UCL to make-amends for its deeply troubling ties to eugenics and institutional racism. Thank you to all the students, activists and staff, whose tireless efforts over many years made this a reality.

The annual Education Awards recognise and celebrate the achievements of staff and students and their contributions to our learning community.

Arts Societies are so essential to the life of UCL, they get their own set of awards. Arts encompasses everything from student media, to shows in the Bloomsbury Theatre. What art societies do brings heart, soul and performance to UCL’s culture. This is a group of talented students, contributing beyond their societies and making life a little sweeter for all of us.

Win together, lose together, stick together. Early sessions, hours on coaches, two-minute team talks, aching for days. Nights out, nights in, hitting the wall, hitting it again. Finding your mates, finding your team, finding you’ve got it, after all the hard work. Victors in Varsity, never scared of Kings, I Bleed Purple, #TeamUCL.
