We are the go-to source for our student members for career support, technical training information, up-to-date market knowledge and a fun, accepting community.
The UCL Investment society – UCLIS – is one of the top 3 largest societies on campus, and the premier career society and the leading member of the UCL Guild. We host the most senior speakers, organise the UK’s largest mentorship programme, trade with a real-money investment fund and pride ourselves on our flagship Finance Conference – the largest of its kind across Europe, Middle East and Africa. This is why we are widely regarded by the financial industry as the most prestigious society at UCL!
Our mission is to empower our members and provide them with the best opportunity to kick-start their careers. We want to help you secure your dream internship, and hopefully job, at the top firms in London and around the world. We provide exposure to our many sponsors, like that of Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley and world-renowned guest speakers, whilst keeping things fun at our esteemed socials!
