The successful candidate will not become a member of ULAS until they have undergone the induction training that we organise:

at Town HQ

3 November 1500 Induction/Medical Brief
23 November 1900 Town Night
30 November 1900 Town Night
1 December 1500 Attestation/Admin
7 December 1900 Town Night
17 December 1900 Christmas Ball

and at RAF Wyton

26 - 28 November or 20 - 22 December for flying induction training (arriving the evening before on our transport).

Members of ULAS will be at the following Freshers' Fairs:

21 Sep Brunel
24 Sep King’s
30 Sep-1 Oct UCL
1 Oct Herts
5 Oct Imperial

Feel free to approach us at the stall, or anywhere else, to discover more about who we are and what membership would mean for you. If there is no ULAS stall at your university, do come and find us at another university; UCL will be manned for 2 days and Imperial will have most members available to help you with considering membership of ULAS.

This is a sort of blog to help prospective members of ULAS with the joining procedure, from the first enquiry to the interview and the induction process. It should provide you with general information as to how to get through the recruitment and induction system.

The next recruiting cycle starts in September 2010 when we will be at some of the bigger Freshers' Fairs in London; we will list them closer to the time, but they include Imperial, UCL, Brunel, Royal Holloway, King’s and Herts. Then there will be interviews during the periods 13-15 and 18-20 October and the first letters offering candidates membership will go out by the beginning of the last week in October; there will be 80-100 interviews for around 40 places on ULAS.

This is the view for a student in a Grob Tutor. We teach our members to fly and to keep a good lookout for other aircraft – such as the Tutor just to the right of the nose. In fact, this pilot is about to join the other in formation, one of the skills that ULAS instructors maintain with frequent practice.

Although prospective members can find out a little about the University of London Air Squadron at a Freshers' Fairs in September, it is worth having some knowledge under your belt before you approach one of our friendly teams. Have a look at the other pages on this website, but also look at the RAF website.

Our rules for membership of ULAS are set out by the Royal Air Force. The rules are summarised on the Eligibilty page, but it is worth looking at the RAF's own website for the latest changes. Nationality (British, Commonwealth or Irish) and Residency (normally 3 years) are the key requirements.
