All UCL alumni are invited to join UCL’s official alumni network on LinkedIn.
The group is your space to stay connected, build your network and get involved with UCL’s remarkable global alumni community.
As UCL alumni, you will be able to:
- Find a mentor and learn from sector-leading alumni around the world.
- Enhance your CV and break into an industry or sector.
- Tap into a global jobs market.
- Browse the latest UCL-organised alumni events, as part of our personal and professional development series.
- Nurture lasting friendships.
The online element provides easy, constant access to a large network of alumni from various programmes and countries. Rather than being limited to alumni from one college or programme of study, I am easily able to log on and search for alumni or opportunities that are of interest to me – Miriam Maya, Primary Education MA (Class of 2005).
