Student Life
RVC students experience a small and friendly college community while also enjoying the benefits of being within easy reach of the cultural opportunities London has to offer. London's population of 7.5 million makes it the biggest city in Western Europe.
In addition, there are almost 83,000 international students studying in London. This represents 1 in 5 of the total student population, which means a diverse and vibrant student community.
Our two campuses, one in the exciting Camden area of London and the other in leafy Hertfordshire, offer state-of-the-art teaching and research opportunities, lecture theatres, libraries and Learning Resource Centres, alongside opportunities to develop clinical skills.
The Postgraduate Students Society
The Society liaises with academic and administrative staff and with the Student's Union. It represents the interests of all postgraduate students and, via the University of London Union (ULU), brings together postgraduates from across London.
RVC PGSS committee members represent students at meetings and sits on the Student's Union Council, which means postgraduate views are heard across the College. A wide variety of social events are organised throughout the year.
University of London Union (ULU)
The University of London Union (ULU) supplements the social, cultural and athletic activities of RVC students, helping to foster a united spirit among the scattered colleges in London by fielding all sorts of sports teams and providing a wide range of student services, including a fantastic gym and several bars. As an RVC student you will qualify for membership of ULU and your ULU card will entitle you to discounts at many cinemas and theatres, on travel, and in some shops.
