Accommodation Advisor

About us UCL is a radically different university. Founded in 1826 in the heart of London we are a multidisciplinary university, with more than 16,000 staff and 50,000 students from over 150 countries. We were the first university in England to welcome students of any religion and the first to welcome women on equal terms with men. UCL is a diverse community with the freedom and courage to challenge, to question and to think differently. UCL Accommodation has set out an ambitious new vision of becoming the leading provider of accommodation in the HEI sector; delivering an exceptional student experience and is embarking on new strategy to delivery this vision. Students create the communities. Most of our Halls are close to campus in Bloomsbury, one of London’s most desirable neighbourhoods. We also have Halls in Camden and Victoria – exciting areas with their own quirks and treasures. Despite London’s expensive property market and the pressure on student accommodation, UCL’s prices are kept as low as possible and are amongst the cheapest in the area. The team also works hard to enhance the experience of every student staying with us. We believe it’s everyone’s role in the team to help ensure that every resident in UCL Accommodation feels at home. We’re striving to provide every student with an experience as befits one of the world’s greatest universities in one of the most exciting cities on earth.
