Meet the Therapy Dogs
Want to know a more about our Therapy Dogs? See below for when they are on campus, and enjoy their mini bios to learn their names, breed and favourite activities!
Pets as Therapy
We’re lucky enough to work with many wonderful volunteers at the Pets as Therapy (PAT) charity to bring Therapy Dogs onto campus to boost your mood, reduce homesickness and encourage you to take time out from your studies.
Our sessions are usually held in the Japanese Garden (outside the Student Centre) and the Ground Floor of the Student Centre on the UCL Bloomsbury Campus. Some sessions are held at UCL East Campus in the Level 4 Project Space. If the session is at East, it will be indicated below.
There is no need to book, simply turn up and pet a pooch!
