Logging in - current students

You will have myUCLCareers access from the first day of your course at UCL, (usually the first day of the autumn term), and will need your standard UCL 'single sign-on' user ID and password to access your account. If you don't know your UCL user ID or are having problems with your password, please visit the UCL ISD website for support.

If your course is due to end / has ended recently, continue to use the 'Student sign in' option up until the point where you receive a 'permission denied' error message after entering your details. At this point you'll be able to register a new password for your myUCLCareers account using the 'Alumni sign in' option as explained below.

However, if you receive a 'permisison denied' error message but are still currently enrolled as a UCL student, please contact UCL

myUCLCareers - student login

Logging in - recent graduates

All UCL graduates will have continued access to myUCLCareers for up to two years* after you complete your course. When your old UCL user ID stops working with the student log in option detailed above, your new login is simply your old UCL email address, (usually in the format: [email protected] where 'yy' is the year you first joined UCL).

For first time access as a graduate, simply click the 'Alumni sign in' button and then request a new password using this email address. (Note: If you used myUCLCareers as a student and added a non- UCL email address to your profile, you will need to use that to request a new password instead). If you're not sure which email address is on your myUCLCareers profile, please contact us for support.

If you no longer use your UCL email account and wish to register a new email address with us, there is a short registration form that you can complete and we'll then email you confirming your new username and providing a secure link to create a password.

For the form, you will be asked for your 'student number' which is the 'UPI' Code on the front of your old UCL ID card. (The format is 5 letters and 2 numbers e.g. UCLID38 and it can also be found on your PORTICO profile or student enrolment summary if you have lost your old ID card).

If can't find this code, please contact us rather than registering online as this will speed up the process of setting up graduate https://www.ucl.ac.uk/careers/myuclcareers-0[29/01/2021, 08:21:33] myUCLCareers | UCL Careers - UCL – University College London

When prompted to create a username for your myUCLCareers account, you MUST use your email address in the format: '[email protected]' and then complete the other details on the registration form.

Other staff (departmental administrators and careers liaison / personal tutors)

If your role at UCL involves promoting specific services provided by UCL Careers to your students, and you feel it would be useful to be able to view things like our events calendar or jobs board or to be able to monitor the day to day appointment availability that your students have access to, you can request 'read only' access to myUCLCareers.

Simply email [email protected] with your job title, UCL user-id and details of the type / groups of students, (level / discipline etc.), you work with and in what capacity and we will then email you when your account is ready to log in to via the 'Departmental Staff' button.

Skills Hub

Welcome to Skills Hub! Here we have put together some useful information to help you develop the skills, strengths, and qualities employers are typically looking for.

You will see an overview of the skills based on research from global reports*, focus groups, and the experiences of those in recruitment.

You'll also be able to hear recruiters explain more about why this particular skill is important to them when hiring students and graduates, as well as what sort of evidence they're looking for as part of the recruitment process.

You’ll find that whether you are studying for an undergraduate or postgraduate qualification, you are already developing these skills as part of your programme. From interpersonal skills to creativity, your studies will support you in developing these attributes and provide you with further opportunities to strengthen the key skills needed to build a global career.
