About

History

UCL was founded in 1826 to open up higher education in England to those who had been excluded from it. It was the first university in England to welcome students of any religion or social background, and the first in England to welcome women to university education. This challenge to the norm and commitment to a fairer society was considered deeply unconventional by contemporary commentators.

Education

  • UCL is widely regarded as an academic powerhouse, appearing in the top 20 in a range of worldwide rankings. UCL is 8th in the world in the QS World University Rankings 2023. 
  •   UCL offers more than 675 postgraduate programmes and encourages our community to work across traditional subject boundaries.
  •   UCL's vision is to transform the way that the world is understood, how knowledge is created and how problems are solved.

Research

At the very heart of UCL's mission is our research. The university was rated second in the UK for research power in the last “Research Excellence Framework (REF 2021).”

UCL’s researchers are continually making an impact on the world we live in; creating headlines across subject areas, locally in the UK and across the globe. UCL's research-based teaching methodology means that research is integrated into many of our degrees and students have the opportunity to make an original contribution to their field of study.  

Career

UCL has been ranked among the top 20 universities worldwide for graduate employability in the 2022 QS Graduate Employability Rankings.

UCL understands that students choose to enter graduate study for a myriad of reasons, and they are committed to supporting our student’s aspirations and enhancing their skills and employability.
