1. Pick up lots of new skills that can be utilised in your degree programme...

2. ...and beyond UCL in your career.
"The negotiation seminar will be really useful for my future job interviews."

3. You'll get to work with new people from lots of different backgrounds.
"I made a lot of new friends and it's great to be able to exchange ideas with people who study completely different things to me."

4. You'll discover new ways to solve problems.
"Students from other degrees provided perspectives I wouldn't normally think of. The diversity of the group reflects the complexity of real-life problems."

5. You'll look at the world differently.

6. It will change you!
"I'm proud to be able to say that I'm a global citizen!"

7. And (although we don't like to brag) it's brilliant!
