UCAS Discovery London 2026

UCAS Discovery London 2026 is a large university and careers event run by UCAS that brings together university representatives, employers and training providers under one roof. Attendees can speak face-to-face with more than 150 universities, colleges and conservatoires, explore degree apprenticeships and school-leaver programmes, and get practical guidance on applications and career routes.

The event attracts large numbers of students (the page notes 21,000+ attendees at flagship events) and is designed to help visitors leave with clear next steps and useful contacts. The programme includes subject spotlights (for example Psychology, Economics and Business Studies), an Employer and Apprenticeship Zone, and the UCAS Springpod cinema featuring short films from current students and recent graduates.

UCAS staff and qualified careers advisers are available throughout to explain entry requirements, UCAS points, personal statements and alternative routes into work or further study. The event takes place at ExCeL London (Royal Victoria Dock, 1 Western Way, London, E16 1XL).

Sessions run 09:30-15:00 on Monday 23 March and Tuesday 24 March 2026. Attendees are asked to book in advance via the UCAS registration page (registration links are provided on the event listing). Schools can upload and register student groups through the Enet booking portal as detailed in the adviser booking guidance.
