Founded in 1826 in the heart of London, we were the first university in England to welcome students of any religion and the first to welcome women on equal terms with men.

Today UCL has over 50,000 students and 15,00 staff and is one of the world's top 10 universities.


Student and Registry Services is one of the larger Professional Services divisions at UCL, providing essential services to UCL's 50,000 students, 160,000 applicants and for supporting academic departments and administrative staff in delivering a high-quality student experience.


UCL Student Support and Wellbeing Services (SSW) provides information, advice and welfare support for all registered students, including delivery of related student events.

UCL aims to extend its rich on-campus student experience and high standard support provision to UCL East.

We believe that a focus on each and every student, alongside building a diverse and engaged community, is vital to helping students have quality student life and achieve their full potential at UCL and beyond.
