The sun is shining, exams will start flying by, and it's time to start celebrating. London in summer is an amazing place to be - there's so much to explore, and so many opportunities to have fun. To make the most of the end of this academic year, we've rounded up everything you can look forward to in term three.

Make the most of your free time this summer and try out our Extended Learning Opportunities
ExtendED Learning is a collaboration between UCL and Students' Union UCL, bringing to you a diverse range of learning opportunities in Term 3. Whether you're interested in one-off workshops, conferences, in-depth consultancy challenges, or innovation labs, the ExtendED programme allows you to explore new areas beyond assessments and dissertation.
There's something for everyone to get involved in with ExtendED Learning Opportunities - the programme is made up of opportunities that vary in format, time commitment, and schedule.
The ExtendED programme is split into 4 strands to help you navigate what's on offer:
Postgrad summer unlocked
Wondering how to make the most of summer 2025? With our Postgraduate Summer programme, we've got loads of opportunities on offer - whether you're looking to try something new, develop your CV, or just need some 'me time'.
From one-off, short-term volunteering opportunities, to new cultural experiences, we've got an endless amount of activity, all worth giving a go, so you can try something new and exciting this summer. More info to come - watch this space!
Sustainability education on the agenda at the Student Sustainability Forum
Join us on Wednesday 30 April for the Term 3 Student Sustainability Forum, which will allow you to find out about and give feedback on areas of sustainability education at UCL.
The idea is for you to be able to develop practical sustainability solutions with staff across the university so that positive changes can be made. It serves as a platform for you to bring in their ideas and concerns around sustainability into our university’s plans, projects and visions. Register for the event here.
Team up for change at our Social Hackathon
We've put our own spin on things when it comes to our social hackathons - these are events for students to become real world problem-solvers, working with local non-profits who have provided the problem. This way, you can be sure that you are going to step away having made a real impact.
It's the perfect opportunity to step away from grades and the stress of study, but still walk away having built essential career skills.
