The Students Union coordinates a Buddying network, Connect, a voluntary scheme matching in-coming students with current 2nd or 3rd year's to support them finding their feet at University and London. The Connect Scheme was set up to address the gaps in the student experience and in turn to improve student retention at the university. It was also thought that as well as impacting on the students’ initial experience at the University of the Arts London it would substantially enhance the sense of community at UAL.
