About University College London

University College London is a large, research-intensive university in the heart of London, founded in the early nineteenth century as a pioneering secular institution open to students regardless of background. It has a broad, cosmopolitan and academically ambitious character.

UCL is known for its breadth across the sciences, medicine, engineering, the arts and social sciences, and it is a member of the Russell Group. Its central Bloomsbury location places students close to major museums, libraries and hospitals, within a highly international and outward-looking community.
