UCL was founded on principles of accessibility and equality, with an uncompromising vision that remains at the heart of everything that we do. Our academic excellence and research is aimed at addressing real-world problems. Our world-leading resources provide an enriched multidisciplinary environment for our students, and we’re investing more in the future than ever before.
Today UCL is widely regarded as an international academic powerhouse, appearing in the top 20 in a range of worldwide rankings. We count 29 Nobel Prize winners among our former and present staff and students, and we were rated the top university in the UK for research strength in the last Research Excellence Framework (REF 2014). Our “Transforming UCL” project is giving us new, sustainable spaces in which to study and work, matching our ambitions and aspirations.
Our location at the heart of the capital means you’re perfectly placed to take advantage of everything London has to offer. Our links to and partnerships with key academic, industrial and professional bodies provide outstanding benefits for our students, giving you access to vital networks and the freedom to pursue your academic and career aspirations.
