About University College London
Founded in 1826, UCL was the first university in England to welcome students of any religion or social background. In 1878, it became the first university in England to admit women students on equal terms with men.
UCL provides opportunities for students to further their knowledge, develop their skills of analysis and problem-solving and give them a truly global outlook that draws on diverse cultural perspectives. Its collaborative approach also helps build the essential skills that make students so in-demand, such as communication, teamwork, negotiation, entrepreneurship and project management.
