Student Union Societies

About student use of the Bloomsbury Theatre, and how to apply

Each year Students' Union UCL societies present a fantastic range of high-quality events including musical theatre, jazz, opera, dance, film and TV. By working within a society to produce large-scale productions, students gain vital skills and experience through hands-on co-curricular training in a non-classroom setting, with the support of Bloomsbury staff. These experiences are vital for students' future job opportunities, personal development and developing communities and friendships.

The Bloomsbury also reflects a key aspect of UCL's core values as an accessible, publicly engaged organisation that fosters a lifelong community.
