Bringing a large group?

We ask all participants to follow our Code of Conduct for Public Events (PDF).

What's on
All upcoming events
The seminars at UCL Political Science have been invaluable and eye-opening for our students. We have taken groups of sixth form students for the last few years, and it has provided them often with their first exposure to high level academia, as well as provoking their intellectual curiosity. Many of our UCAS early applicants reference the talks in their personal statements.
