UCL CAREERS SERVICE

Any graduate who has completed a course at UCL in the last two years* is eligible to join GradClub as detailed below.

If you completed your course in 2010 or earlier, you can access a range of Alternative Services provided by our parent body, The Careers Group, University of London.

*See note below on student status.

GradClub membership for any student who's completed a course at UCL in the last two years is FREE and most services available to you as a member, (including all 1-1 advice appointments), are also free.

Please note however that GradClub membership is available to any University of London Graduate to give continued access to their respective College-based Careers Service and most colleges charge for membership. You may therefore find information advertised elsewhere about membership fees for GradClub but this isn't relevant to UCL graduates.

GradClub membership gives you access to:

• a dedicated 1-1 advice and coaching service designed specifically for the needs of the UCL Graduate cohort.
  
• access to a range of events and workshops led by employers or Careers Service Staff
  
• access to information resources / vacancy listings - see the "Help With..." links in the left menu for more information on what's available.
• free or discounted access to events and courses run by our parent body, The Careers Group, University of London.
• access to all services that were available to you as a UCL Student
  

Additional Costs As with student access, most services/events available to GradClub Members through UCL Careers Service or The Careers Group are completely free. However, attendance at some workshops or courses will require a fee to cover materials or administration costs but these will be clearly advertised with the registration information.

While you're still enrolled as a current student as per the dates below, you should continue accessing services as detailed in the Students' Pages on our website.

When your access to our services as a student ends, you'll be eligible to use the additional GradClub services listed in the left menu in this Graduates section of our website for up to two years after your student access end regardless of the date that you start using the GradClub services.

Membership is automatic. You simply need to print out your new membership card to replace your old UCL student ID card as this won't be valid for accessing any of our services after the dates highlighted below.

To print your ID card, log into your My Careers Service account*, and click on the "My Account / Print Forms" link as shown below. This will open as a Word document for ease of attaching a digital photo. If you're experiencing difficulties with the document format, there is also a pdf version of the document available.

Before using your GradClub ID card to access our services, you'll need to bring the new card to the Careers Service with proof of your student status, (old UCL ID card, PORTICO transcript or letter from your department). We'll then confirm the membership expiry date is correct and validate your new GradClub ID card.

*If you've never used your My Careers Service account as a student, please read our instructions page first for details of how to log in.

If you don't want to join GradClub to use UCL Careers Service, our parent body, The Careers Group, University of London offers a commercial service specifically aimed at graduate level job seekers / career changers but you will have to pay graduate rates for these services.

Alternatively, there are a range of Government Services available to job-seekers but these are open to the general public and so are less focused on graduate level job seekers.

More details on these services can be found in our information on Alternative Services.
