Last year, jokingly, after Alex had been hit by a car while cycling to University, I gave him the advice of wearing some reflective clothing so he could be seen.

Presenting a Paper at an Academic Conference

Eva Sasson
Three years ago, I didn’t know anything about the Dutch city of Utrecht. Little did I know that I would be standing at the podium delivering a talk about how to apply natural language processing to graph theory, to identify intra-organizational knowledge holders. I journeyed to Utrecht from San Francisco after graduation, to speak at the International Network Analysis conference, XXXVIII Sunbelt Conference, about research that I conducted while at UCL.

When I first moved to London, I was both impressed and overwhelmed by number of events happening. In the next 365 days, I embarked on an event marathon to explore, learn, and meet new people. I would go to 2-3 new events every week, attending an underground exhibition to the usual three-days conference.

The aim of the campaign was not only to grow the community but also the awareness of the platform amongst active women. In the final part of our three-part series of blogs discussing our #WhoAmI campaign, we look at finding good influencers who aren’t just big names, but are right for you.

In January 2018, we launched our very first campaign #WhoAmI, around our Flybery Women community. The aim of the campaign was not only to grow the community but also the awareness of the platform amongst active women. We’ve written a series of short blogs which take you through building our campaign from idea, to engaging the community, and the results we saw (spoiler - they were pretty good). Hopefully, this might be of use to some of you, particularly those on the MSc Entrepreneurship, who are embarking on your own start-up journey.

Proud to be part of UCL MSc Finance?

Irina Chen

When I introduce myself as an UCL MSc Finance student, I clearly feel external admiration because of the reputation of UCL and competitive candidate selection in the programme. But what about myself?

After two terms, I would say yes as I learn with talents, gain from opportunities, and grow stronger for my early career. The small class size makes me truly feel that I am cared about in the group, and everyone gets the chance to shine! I hope my experience in this new-born programme will help you learn more about it!

#LifeAtUCL

Having spent several months studying at University College London, I feel obliged to give the world an update on how UCL truly is. Aside from providing a vast experience, I was surprised to see the level of diversity in the student community. I have never seen such diversity in one area, and did not expect to learn so much from students that represent 80 different countries. In fact, some students are seen working 12-13 hours after class, to deliver their very best in coursework and projects. If that does not count as immense dedication, I don’t know what does!
