About UCL Union
UCL Union exists to provide a wide range of services – all in the interests of UCL students. It is run by elected student officers, and supports a range of opportunities and services, including clubs and societies, sports facilities, and an advice service, as well as a number of bars, cafes and shops.
Representation
The principle function of the Union is to represent the needs of all UCL students at a college, local and national level. Sabbatical and Executive Officers are elected by you to run the Union and make decisions about it's strategic direction. If you have any concerns about the way your Union is run you can contact an officer. You can get involved and represent your fellow students - from Sabbatical Officer to Course or Hall Representative, you can take part in key decisions that affect UCL students.
The Union also runs Campaigns on behalf of students - recent campaigns include Housing Week and Wellbeing Week. You can even suggest a campaign yourself – we’re always eager to hear your ideas and concerns.
