THE CHEMICAL ENGINEERING 
​
RAMSAY SOCIETY

Picture

Who are we?

We are the UCL Chemical Engineering department's very own student-run society consisting of seven committee members. This is the perfect place to get a first hand experience of all things Chemical Engineering at UCL, from fun social events to educational and intriguing careers talks.

What do we do?

The Ramsay Society is the undergraduate student-run society for the University College London (UCL) Department of Chemical Engineering, with a committee comprising seven student-elected representatives, alongside two committee-nominated first-year representatives.

Our commitment, as a society, is to promote a welcoming, engaging, collaborative, and memorable community environment within the department. Our role is to ensure that undergraduate students can connect and network with one-another through year-round events, building memorable and long-lasting friendships and connections.
Our events include intriguing career workshops with future employers, pioneering symposiums with industry leaders and past alumni, engineering hackathons, paintballing events, alongside the annual Frank Morton Sports Day excursion. 

Who was Ramsay?

Our society name pays tribute to the ground-breaking work of Sir William Ramsay, Professor of Chemistry here at UCL in 1887, most notable for his discovery of the Noble gases. The first World War brought to light England’s weaknesses within industrial chemistry. At the time, Ramsay was invited to advise the UK Government on atmospheric nitrogen fixation, and on the Haber process, to obtain nitric acid for explosives; these were areas in which he made significant contributions, until his death in 1916. 
​
As a tribute to Ramsay’s contributions to industrial chemistry, and as a means of immortalising his legacy, the UCL Chemical Engineering Department was named after, and had a seat dedicated to Sir William Ramsay. Using funds from the Ramsay Memorial Fund, established in 1923, the first Chemical Engineering professorship in Britain was created here at UCL.
