Meet the UCL Students

Antonio, Mechanical Engineering

I come from Barcelona in Spain. I always knew I wanted to study abroad and I am very happy of how things have ended up, UCL is an amazing place to be. I love what I do, I love to work, but I also try to find time to have fun, play guitar and sing in London streets, and fulfill my other hobbies. Engineering is a demanding degree, but UCL gives you the tools to find a balance, do well academically and also have time to relax and invest your time in other things.

Lingying, Philosophy

I'm Lingying and I was born and raised in Singapore, which is a really different city from London. My favourite thing about UCL is that the student population is really diverse in nationality, culture and subjects, which has made my student life all the more enriching and interesting.

David, Human Sciences

I’m from a small village in North Devon, perched on top of Exmoor and in a fleeting moment of bravery decided to go to uni in the exciting, global multi-cultural city that is London....what a brilliant decision!

Hannah, Biomedical Sciences

My name is Hannah, I come from Essex, and yes every time I say that I get some sort of cheer as everyone conjures up an image of the stereotypical blonde in white stilletos, especially now with the program 'the only way is essex' I cannot hide from essex's tragic reputation. However, I am far from this image, but I do know how to have a good time! I have managed to balance work and play pretty well as so far I have a achieved a first, hurrah!

Hi! I’m Katherine and I’m from Basingstoke in Hampshire, and I’m currently in my second year of a BA Geography degree! I absolutely love living in London as a student, and try to immerse myself in student life.
