Students' Union UCL is an organisation that exists to make more happen. We are the representative body for University College London's (UCL) students, one of the most diverse student communities in the world. We are one of the largest student-led organisations in the UK and a charity with over 48,000 members. We provide opportunities for 300 staff and have an annual turnover of more than £12m.

It's an exciting time our growing organisation as the delivery partner for UCL's new Student Life Strategy. In 2023 we received a multi-million-pound investment to enhance student life at UCL. The financial backing from our parent university is recognition of the transformative effect that extra and co-curricular experiences have on students at UCL - helping them develop skills, build networks, reduce loneliness and isolation, grow in confidence, and enjoy their time here.
