Institution overview
UCL, formally University College London, is a multidisciplinary university founded in London in 1826. Its central London presence is associated with Bloomsbury, while UCL East extends teaching and research into east London. The institution's history is linked to widening access to university education and to bringing academic work into contact with society. Its subject coverage includes humanities, social sciences, law, education, engineering, the built environment, natural sciences, medicine and health. Teaching is organised through faculties and departments, with undergraduate degrees, taught postgraduate programmes and doctoral research forming distinct study routes. Interdisciplinary work connects these subject areas across the institution. The university's two London locations provide different combinations of academic spaces, research facilities and student services. Libraries, museums and collections support both specialist study and public engagement, and the Bloomsbury Theatre contributes to its cultural provision. Students can access accommodation information, careers advice and wellbeing services through dedicated university teams. UCL's course listings provide the relevant entry requirements, qualification and study arrangements for each programme.
