Could you be the face of #newtoUCL? Receive a £25 Amazon voucher

9 June 2017

Are you interested in being one of the faces of #newtoUCL, a film campaign to welcome new students to the university? The UCL Communications team is looking for undergraduate and postgraduate students who would like to share their wisdom and advice to help students navigate their first weeks and months on campus.

Is there anything you wish you had known that would have helped you in your first year at UCL? And would you be willing to be filmed talking about it? 

The advice could be anything, including the quickest routes through campus, study tips, how to access important information, health and wellbeing recommendations, the best pubs/coffee shops etc.

Ideally, students who take part will have prior experience of being on camera, though this is not essential.

What is involved?

Filming is due to take place week commencing 19 June on Main Campus. It will take approximately one hour and you will receive a £25 Amazon voucher and UCL branded merchandise.

How will my videos be used?

Your videos and footage could be used on UCL's central channels, such as myUCL, the official YouTube channel UCLTV, as well as Facebook , Instagram and Twitter, and in other UCL communications. Your name will be credited in the footage.

How do I get involved?

If you are interested in taking part, please email: studentcommunications@ucl.ac.uk with '#newtoucl film' in the subject field, and include the following information in the email:

  • Name, gender and age
  • Level of study (undergraduate, postgraduate research or postgraduate taught)
  • Subject and year of study
  • Nationality (if you are not a UK passport holder)
  • Confirmation of your availability on the morning or afternoon of Monday 19, Thursday 22 and Friday 23 June
  • A phone number so that we can contact you

Spaces are allocated on a first-come first-served basis, but preference will be given to students who have experience of being filmed.

For queries, please contact Rachel Heatley: studentcommunications@ucl.ac.uk.
