About University College London
University College London (UCL), founded in 1826 in the heart of London, is consistently ranked among the top 10 universities in the world (#9 in QS World University Rankings 2025). As London's leading multidisciplinary university, UCL was the first university institution established in London and the first in England to welcome students of any religion or social background, and the first to admit women on equal terms with men. Today, UCL is a founding member of the prestigious Russell Group, the League of European Research Universities (LERU), and the Golden Triangle. Home to 30 Nobel Prize laureates — including Sir William Ramsay (discoverer of the noble gases), Francis Crick (co-discoverer of the structure of DNA), Charles Kao (pioneer of fiber optics), and Peter Higgs (theoretical physicist) — UCL conducts disruptive, world-leading research across 11 faculties, educating over 51,000 students from more than 150 countries. Its faculties include The Bartlett (ranked #1 globally for Architecture & Built Environment) and the IOE - Faculty of Education and Society (ranked #1 in the world for Education for 11 consecutive years).
