LGBTQ+

In October 2023 UCL launched its institutional LGBTQ+ action plan.

The support and wellbeing service offers support to LGBT+ students. The service provides information on transitioning gender, the UCL Policy and Guidance for Students transitioning Gender and details of external support for the transgender community, especially in London. The LGBT+ Students’ Network is here to support you in your study and work, to provide you with social activities, as well as to campaign on your behalf and raise awareness of your issues.
